That’s exactly what the EU elites want. They’re stirring up hate against the USA right now to garner support for their long-desired EU military. And the “refugee” crisis is designed to make a presence in the continent distasteful to the US. Remember, they rule by crisis. They are fanatics for this imperialistic EU notion.
This ‘EU-military’ thing is a fake topic. If the US was to leave NATO or drastically limit it’s footprint in Europe (my belief), the EU might stand around and discuss this for months...but when you said that X-number of troops or tanks have to be paid for, and that an enormous part of the burden lies with France and Germany...well, it’s not going to be funded.
Go look at the social cost issues going on. Virtually everyone in the EU has a problem with their social pension program, educational commitments, and pay-offs to various countries to hold back refugees/migrants. There’s simply not tens of billions laying around to run a first-class EU Army or even a second-class EU Army.
