Angela Merkel is on her way out as Chancellor of Germany, whether it be at the end of her term (she’s not running again) or through being forced out sooner. But that doesn’t mean that she’s going quietly into that good night. Following some rather acerbic remarks by French President Emmanuel Macron about the European Union needing to be able to stand up to the United States, Merkel chimed in this week with a wonderful plan of her own, no matter how offensive it may sound.
She suggested that the EU needs their own standing army so they can be well defended against possible aggression. She was supporting Macron’s recent comments where he said Europe needed protection from, “China, Russia and even the United States of America.”
German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Tuesday backed French counterpart Emmanuel Macron in his call for a European army — a move that President Trump has called “insulting” as he urged the countries to fulfill their NATO commitments instead.
Merkel told lawmakers in the E.U. Parliament in Strasbourg that “we have to work on the vision of one day creating a real European army.” She clarified the such a force would not mean the end of NATO, and also called for the creation of a European security council.
The remarks were met with a mix of boos and cheers from lawmakers, with some British representatives crying “Rubbish! Rubbish!”
On the surface, it’s certainly insulting to the United States. The idea that the country whose military has done more to keep Europe free over the last century than anyone else (except possibly Russia, ironically, during WW2) is someone they need to be ready to fight would be hilarious if it weren’t so sad.

This is in case ethnic Germans ask for help with their “newer” citizens. We, or anyone offering assistance would be met at the border by the new EU army comprised of imports from the third world.
“”we have to work on the vision of one day creating a real European army.””
Make sure your army is made up of the muslims you welcomed with open arms. We’d like nothing better than to wipe them all out at one time without a protracted war...
This traitorous b*tch can't leave office soon enough.
That didn’t work so well for them in the 1940’s.
Maybe Angie has a different approach than Hitler did.
Maybe snappier uniforms for the Germans?
I read somewhere that Merkel's parents voluntarily moved from West Germany (the old FRG) to The East (DDR) when she was a child. Voluntarily! No wonder she's so screwed up.
At least someone is sane over there.
So this is their new tactic? We can unite Europe to defeat the United States? LOL
World Socialists Unite
I lived in Italy through all the obozo years. And the Italians all loved obozo. I could never figure it.
Amen. There is no real military threat to Europe. If there were, maybe the Yurps would actually spend the money needed to defend themselves but they don’t. Obviously they don’t feel threatened. Why the hell should we spend taxpayer money to defend people who are wealthy enough to defend themselves and who obviously don’t feel threatened enough to provide adequately for their own defense?
Withdraw from NATO. Bring the Boys home. We should’ve done this a generation ago.
Announce that we will move Rahmstien air force base to Poland and she will beg to be invaded by the US.
Yesss! Bring it on, Sweetheart!
The fun part comes when all these countries that slack on their Nato requirements now all slack on the European army.
Can’t you see them showing up for war against Russia only for a single platoon to show up from each member country, only half of them armed?
“”who obviously don’t feel threatened enough to provide adequately for their own defense?””
And who invite the enemy in......
They drink too much wine.
