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.”

You should not overvalue your “asskicking”. It was the Russians that kicked our ass in WWII while the US played a “important underpart”. Old soldiers in Germany used to say “Kamerad von der Westfront”, if they wanted to express that someone was a harmless unexperienced freeloader. Why? Because on the western Front it was easy living compared to the blood and snow of the eastern front. More than your millitary was your once existing idustry a problem for Germany 1939-1945.

Of course there will. It will be made up of Muslims and they will be subjugating the native Europeans.

If the USA hadn’t provided massive amounts of materials to Russia during the war all of the USSR would be a slave labor camp run by the Gestapo.
The problem with Europeans is the gap in their history lessons called WW11.
If you read enough you would understand, but you live on a continent being flooded at this very moment with Islamic radicals.

You are a little off. The Gestopo where the Reich Police force. Like the FBI in jurisdiction(not in practice). Even though the Gastopo was melded into the SS, the SS proper was in charge of the occupation and administration of foreign territories. Carry on.

I wish we had an ignore button like they do on Arf.com. I’d be hitting it for European trash. It’s like arguing with a libtard. Selective memory loss and nothing to back up assertions, just smug superiority.

Euro weenies (UK is different) haven’t defended anything since WW II, instead relying on the US. Hell, I think the Texas National Guard has more tanks than Germany, we certainly have more guns. They don’t have the budget for that sort of thing, given 75% of the muzzles they take in by the millions take welfare.

They won’t fight Islam, so the only reason to raise an army is to keep the other EU nations in line with what the Germans want.

I think it’s more about Russia than China.

Uhh yeah. I am living here in Rottweil in the German south. Cross the street there is a small mosque a few street beside we have the new synagogue and two big old churches (older than the USA). The muslim hordes (dangerous 4% of our population) are pushing through our streets murdering our women and raping our schoolgirls. Those fat Turkish workers are all sharpen their long knives to drink the blood of our babies...

Buhuhaha!

The Brits are not impressed by the EU either. You see some people would like their countries run by their countyy, and not a bunch of elitist snobs who look to take more power, while bringing in more and more third world immigrant to rape the women, kill the natives, and impose more of sharia.

You can shove you open border, globalist shite elsewhere.

Just said the same to the poster.

Spewing his , or her open border, globalist crap on here!!!!

Let the troll take it elsewhere.

You are so right about the EU wanting to punish the UK too over Brexit since the UK are one of the biggest payers into the EU while other countries sit back grabbing their welfare, and importing more third world immigrant to rape their women, and kill the natives.

Probably just left college and think they know about the world, and we should be thankful they were born.

I’m quite embarrassed to say I know so little of the history you’re talking about that I don’t know if it’s real or if you’re joking.

Was there a pan European army?

And why should Germany be in command?

Or am I just an idiot and this was sarcasm?

I would look it up on wiki but I dont know what to look up!!! :)

thank you in advance

An army filled with mad dog refugees? Could explain their migrant policy.

Waffen SS in World War II. Units from 17 countries (not counting countries such as Austria and the portions of Czechoslovakia that had been organically incorporated into the Reich . The smallest contingent was from Britain (not counting the volunteers from India), the largest may have been from the Soviet Union. (3 divisions).

The French troops are noted for being the last to defend the Fuehrer and his bride in the Berlin bunker.

All working together to bring about the New World Order.

There are certainly good arguments for such a force, or at least there will be if the EU ever does show any indications of a collective identity among the young people who will have to populate this army. That remains to be seen. Somebody is going to have to do the marching and the fighting, after all.

But that surrender of sovereignty can bite hard. It was, after all, a pan-European diplomatic decision to award the Sudetenland to the Germans at the expense of a member state. That one didn't turn out very well.

Defend or attack?

FDR was a ####.

Plus didn’t hitler throw TWO HUNDRED divisions at Russia while we fought 80?

We were fighting a TWO FRONT war, so it was still incredible.

But those 200 divisions against the west would have cost so many more American lives.

Only thing USSR was ever good for.

And I believe you’re right. The NWO was formed from the disarray of that war.

Defend. The French were loyal Nazis to the end. And Vichy was only unpopular among the Communists, left wing socialists, and a few hyper nationalists. (The myths of the resistance were largely a post-war construct of the French.) Remember the American casualties at the hands of the French in North Africa. And the French fought the British in the Middle East and in West Africa. (Unsucessfully in the Middle East, where the Brits took Damascus, with greater success in Dakar where the British were handily defeated. There were also significant battles in Madagascar with roughly equal casualties, but the British ultimately prevailing after a roughly 6 month campaign.) In 1942, there was probably a 2-1 or 3 to 1 advantage of Vichy to Free French. Of course, when the Allies started winning, the French switched sides again.

And the NWO was not a post - WWII concept. The concept of a New Order (or New European Order) was a Nazi concept.
