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.

France Vs America: Macron Puts Globalist Case Against Trump at UN, Hints at Anti-U.S. Trade Deal Boycott https://www. breitbart.com/london/2018/09 /26/france-vs-america-macron-puts-globalist-case-against-trump-un-speech/ … 7:54 AM - Sep 26, 2018
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.

Why are all French roads lined with trees? The German Army likes to march in the shade.
And we are NATO allies with Western Europe why? Obviously the resources they will not commit to NATO to defend themselves they want to commit to building an army to defend themselves against the very nation defending them.
Which shows Trump is a stud and Macron is a weak mama’s boy.
Just so you know...Putins busy trying to put a wedge between Europe and the US.....using Trumps pull out of the Missle Agreement as fodder that this will leave Europe vulnerable.
Honestly it’s just as gross. No thanks.
He should be preparing an army to battle the invading hordes of bearded ones. He isn’t, because he welcomes his new masters.
the strongest military in EU now is the jihadist that were invited in
“LOL. The US is the only reason this guy isn’t speaking German right now.”
German?France and Germany are well in there way to becoming an Islamic paradise.They had better learn to speak,read and right Arabic.
Putin doesn’t need to do anything. The Yurps have shown themselves to be not real allies for well over a generation.
Its long past time Uncle Sugar stopped subsidizing them so they could blow more money on socialism. Withdraw from Nato, bring the boys home and strike mutual defense pacts with the few real allies we have like the UK, Poland, etc.
Yeah well....I disagree. So do most men.
US would not leave Europe vulnerable to a United Russia/China military, which they are currently forming. That’s just not going to happen.
Might be time to exhume the Bodies of American Soldiers buried in Europe and bring them home.
I guess he isn’t a student of history. ................................. Or maybe a good student, was he born on April 20th like the past 2 German/Franco leaders who wanted a Euro army? The greater Reich may be forming after all? Let then have their Euro Army, after bailing them out 2 times before, maybe we should think about not bailing them out a 3rd time. As far as France is concerned, Lafayette we were there twice, our debt is paid in full.
Zut alors!
All they need is some real men for that real army. You know, like the kind of men that would protect their women from muslims.
A EU army would make the WWI Austro-Hungarians look combat effective!
“’Course, she was 39 when she hooked up with 15-year-old Macron.”
Muy el sicko!! That’s worse than hot schoolteacher & teenage boy, where marriage is no object. And no one in La Belle France raises even an eyebrow.
LOL - To have an Army you need people willing to fight and die. Unfortunately for Europe they have been breeding those traits out of their men.
What I see happening is they will create and Army and an over whelming number of Muslims will join and be trained and armed. It would make it easier for the Muslims to take over Europe.
The U.S needs to start an “Atlantic Commenwealth” that is 100% a trade and security alliance and unrelated to domestic national policies or any surrendering of national sovereignty. We need to ask the U.K., Poland and others to join it, in which the trade policy would be we have no tarrifs at all with each other.
In time I think we could hope to have 1/2 of Europe in it.
