German Defence Commissioner Vows: ‘In the End There Will Be a European Army’
Breitbart ^ | 20 Jun 2017 | Jack Montgomery

Posted on 06/25/2017 5:40:30 AM PDT by GonzoII

As negotiations between Britain and the EU over Brexit get underway, a senior German politician has declared that a “European Army” is inevitable. Hans-Peter Bartels, the parliamentary commissioner for the Armed Forces, insisted: “In the end, there will be a European Army.”

Bartel alleged the age-old system of national armies accountable to national governments was “disorganised, technically fragmented and duplicate structures unnecessarily”.

He claimed Europe’s peoples “do not want to go down the solitary national path anymore. Not in Germany, not in the Netherlands, not in the Czech Republic and not in Italy.”

Hans-Peter is right and the EU Army will be German controlled and, the militaristic Germany will once again be a threat to the world. They already are in control of the army-less EU.

I doubt the American youth will ever rise up again to rid the world of a cancer.

No thanks!

Europe was able to compete on the world stage thanks to its diversity.

And Sweden will remain outside the Euro, so there!

What if a few countries refuse to join the European Army?

Then it's way past sunset for them and it will soon be total darkness. It seems the little folk vote to get out of the EU, and then their leaders who promise to do so sell out. In some countries (France, Germany) now they're voting to stay subjugated to the EU.

The "European Army" will be an army controlled by Germany and filled with Turkish and other maniacal "refugees". What could go wrong with united Germany having an army that seeks to dominate all of Europe?

I agree with you. Western Europe is through. Eastern Europe, Italy, the Iberian Peninsula might be able to stop the onslaught, but not unless they stop accepting any "help" from the EU or NATO.

and yet the UK has more of a powerful, better military than the EU, so who are meaningless now.

The EU are a waste of time which only the elites want to have more power, and if you want that then get rid of the European cup , five nations, and other sports.

Enjoy being invaded and seeing your women raped while at least the UK are waking up unlike the dumb Euros.

I thought the same. Hitler would be kicking himself if he could see what Germany has accomplished without firing a shot.

As long as they arrange it along the lines of the previous pan-European army, it might work. They could have separate units, for example, from Dutch and speaking Belgium - the 27th Langemarck and the 28th Walloon. France could contribute a Charlemange Division, Hungary the Maria Theresia. The Balkans could contribute Muslim and Christian Divisions. (They could call the Muslim units Handschar or Kama).

The Germans, of course, should be in command.

Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
Über alles in der Welt,
Wenn es stets zu Schutz und Trutze
Brüderlich zusammenhält.
Von der Maas bis an die Memel,
Von der Etsch bis an den Belt,
|: Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
Über alles in der Welt! :|

Deutsche Frauen, deutsche Treue,
Deutscher Wein und deutscher Sang
Sollen in der Welt behalten
Ihren alten schönen Klang,
Uns zu edler Tat begeistern
Unser ganzes Leben lang.
|: Deutsche Frauen, deutsche Treue,
Deutscher Wein und deutscher Sang! :

Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
Für das deutsche Vaterland!
Danach lasst uns alle streben
Brüderlich mit Herz und Hand!
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
Sind des Glückes Unterpfand;
|: Blüh’ im Glanze dieses Glückes,
Blühe, deutsches Vaterland! :|

The Brits are toast. No idustry and only banks that need a license for making business on the European continent.It is obvious that they will mutate into a agrarian state not so far from now.

And millitary? What can you do with a wonderful millitary when you can not use it offensive. The colonial time is over. Iraq i.e. was not very persuasive - in economical terms. Therefore the economy of the UK has to compete i.e. with the European economy. We are not very impressed and think this is going to have a quite funny outcome.

“What if a few countries refuse to join the European Army?”

Here’s another question for them:

Who’s going to be in charge of it and decide who else, in this army, is going to not be a part from it? For there to be a need for an army, they have to need one and that includes someone to fight. Otherwise they sit at campfires and sing Kum ba yah. Cheap war, huh?

Which is why you pansies are wailing over Brexit and trying to nickel and dime them during the divorce, since Britain is one of the few net payers in the eurozone.

The only threads you seem to reply to on FR are anything dealing with Europe, where you trumpet the superiority of eurotrash society, your glorious 4th reich army to be, and anything you can think of in your own deluded opinion places the U.S. beneath europe.

Need I remind you that eurotrash falls into one of two categories:

1. The side whose ass we saved

2. The side whose ass we kicked

Both sides not under Russian influence now share one thing in common......they exist because of our provisions to their defense and tolerance of their bullshit.

Go find somewhere else to post Francis, and leave us uncultured swine alone.
