Macron Calls for ‘Real European Army’ to Protect EU from U.S.
Breitbart - Europe ^ | 11-6-2018 | Victoria Friedman

Posted on 11/06/2018 8:11:09 AM PST by Sir Napsalot

French President Emmanuel Macron has reiterated calls for a European Union army, this time saying that it is needed to protect the bloc from China, Russia, and even the United States.

The progressive leader, a proponent of greater EU federalisation which will result in the reduction in sovereignty for European nations, told Europe 1 Monday night that the bloc needs a “real European army”. “We have to protect ourselves with respect to China, Russia and even the United States of America,” Macron said, according to Agence France-Presse.

“We will not protect the Europeans unless we decide to have a true European army,” he said while on a tour of the former Western Front in Verdun, northeast France, to commemorate the centenary of World War One — a war in which some 116,000 Americans lost their lives defending Europe, including at the Second Battle of the Somme in 1918 which resulted in an Allied battle victory at the cost of 15,034 United States, and 5,600 British Empire lives.

In August, Macron called for defence divergence from the United States, then including current French foe Russia as those the centrist premier counted as possible European defence partners.

The US Army protects Europeans from outside threats.

An EU Army would exist to make sure EU subjects remain obedient to the EU.

“Yeah, and Trump married a woman who could be his daughter.”

So did my husband.

I once asked my husband why he wanted a younger wife and he told me that all the women who were his age were either single or divorced and he didn’t want to be the one to find out why.

Macron is letting his little military parades go to his head. What he doesn’t understand is an army will not fight if they have no guts for it. And most of Europe is populated with impotent and gutless soyboys, as evidenced by their passivity to invasion and the ripping away of their cultures before their eyes. If there is no culture, no identity, there is nothing to defend - no rallying cry to be uttered. “For Starbucks and globalism” is not going to work.

It’s a waste of American tax dollars to protect europe if they don’t even want to protect itself

Well...for a 65-year old woman....she’s fairly hot. Course, she was 39 when she hooked up with 15-year-old Macron.

Don’t really know what to think here, but many have considered Macron a pivotal person in end times considerations. A Macron calling for a pan-European army sure does seem to play into that line of thinking.

That’s not why they want that army.

Going back a hundred years, a guy named Friedrich Wilhelm Victor Albert expressed the desire to form a “United States of Europe against America”. That dream never died.

A Yurp “army”? ROTFLMAO!!!!

Who will pay for it? Certainly not the Europeans. They haven’t been willing to pay for their own defense in generations.

Who will serve in it? Does anybody expect European global socialist, Gaia Worshiping, Politically Correct soy boys to actually serve? If European males still had their testicles, muslims would have to behave themselves.

Yet these are the people that American Leftists keep trying to claim are our “allies” and whose national defense we should keep paying for.

My French Prediction:

In less than 15 years from now, you will see a strong push to
re-name the country now known as France.
Why? Because something about the origins of France will be declared to be ‘Harem or Blasphemous’, and thus offensive to Muslim ears.

People our general age (over 40) will be highly disturbed and disagreeable. People under 35 will ‘be open to a fair and free discussion of the topic’.

Broke: The EU needs an army to protect from some mythical US invasion.

Woke: The US, Russia, and China finally get serious about formally dividing the world between themselves.

Among other things.

The EU’s looking for a strongman-type leader and has been for a few decades running, too.
