Nigel Farage was at Trump Tower yesterday to meet with Donald Trump.

The day before he spoke in the European Parliament in opposition to the EU's moves to establish its own army to supplant the NATO alliance.

Farage sees the EU ignoring the message voters have been sending them recently.

Its a belligerent sounding EU, perhaps trying to justify its existence by fomenting conflict with Russia?

"Peace on Earth" does not seem to be in the EU's heart this Christmas.

the EU is like baby globalism. Imagine as it grows by adding country after country until every one is part of 1 EU and there you go

Europe has many economic problems, and when that's the case there are always those who see military conflict as a solution.

People who have accrued the kind of power the EU has do not give it up easily and peacefully.

Look at what our own democrats and RINOs are doing right now as an example.

>>”Its a belligerent sounding EU, perhaps trying to justify its existence by fomenting conflict with Russia?”<<

The EU was originally set up as a continuation of EEC (European Economic Community), to facilitate trade & immigration between member nations - the intention was to create a consolidated union, a free, borderless zone for its MEMBERS, and later a single currency - somewhat modelled on the U.S.

NATO was originally set up, by the U.S., for defense reasons against the USSR and the Eastern Bloc - Warsaw Pact.

I think the EU or some members are somewhat shell-shocked & anxious because of Trump’s words that they’ll have to pay their own way. They might have interpreted it as “there won’t be a NATO for defense purposes”. No one knows for now how Trump is planning to “re-define” NATO, except members paying their own way, which is fair enough.

>>>”n fact, what I see is the implementation plan of the EU global strategy on security and defense.”<<<

This is an absurd assertion. The EU nation members, individually or collectively, will continue to depend on the U.S. for security and defense, even if they pay their own way - so far they’ve been driven by the U.S. - that’s about Power.

Below is an interview with Tucker Carlson on 12-15 with Nigel Farage.

In the beginning of the clip, a Parliament member outlines the case how Russia hacked the Brexit vote.

around the 4:20 min mark:
Farage lays out the possibilities after Brexit - the EU is forming an army. Step 1 for Ukraine entering the EU.
It will provoke a conflict with Putin.

NATO is under threat from EU
