The EU cannot defend their own women from gang rapes
daily, but want to attack other nations.

Why should we defend them? They always seem to trash us.

Trump is fixing problems long before he becomes president.
Imagine what he can get done when he has authority and power.

A E.U. standing army will conflict with ours in time.
Europe is teetering. It can’t pull it’s head out long enough to see that it is falling to Islam. So as the E.U. becomes more precarious, that standing army will be controlled by whom? Islam or sympathizers with it.
We should not be gleeful about this.
I hope an accommodation will be found so that Europe take a pass on this, and ups it’s contributions without going that far.

They can’t even fully fund their NATO obligations or their own military necessities. Who thinks another ineffectual layer of EU blue helmets is going to improve anything?

I am also wondering how much of this army is made up of muzzies.

They might make the UN Blue Helmets look like the 300.

All the EU countries have signed the ‘additional protocols’.
Those protocols were specifically designed to ensure the signatories couldn’t possibly win a war.
The EU can waste all the money they want on an army. It’ll never be anything other than an undeployable budget sink.

Europe is seeing the handwriting on the wall regarding their NATA free ride coming to and end: Trump’s foreign policies are starting to work already.

Our Civil War reenactors could defeat them easily, with a Chicago street gang as backup.

Most can’t pay their share of NATO. How can they support an EU army??
