GERMAN Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen says the structures for a European Defence Union have been “activated”, and also hopes to develop a system that tells Europeans when to use their “forces”.

It will be made up of their newly arrived ‘citizens’
Trained, equipped and deployed at the expense, of and with the approval of their victims....
The world turned upside down
Exactly. This is a bad bluff on their part.
We should bail quickly and show them what that looks like.
Decamp to Poland, perhaps.
No doubt the cheese eating surrender monkeys have a boiler plate one to just fill in the blank of who they are surrendering to.

Well, only about 51+ million dead in those two wars. (54 million?)
What could possibly go wrong?
I mean, it’s not like they’re being invaded by Muslims, are Socialists and have a history with the Jewish people....
(great term BTW)
What “army”? Last I read the Germans couldn’t field an operational tank battalion.
They’ll be out in force making sure people aren’t eating too much meat.
Germany's governing Frauenausschuss has grand delusions...
What's wrong with the Bundeswehr?
Bartels pointed to "big gaps" in personnel and equipment. At the end of 2017, no submarines and none of the air force's 14 large transport planes were available for deployment due to repairs.
Other equipment, including fighter jets, tanks and ships, was outdated and in some cases not fully operational because of bad planning or a lack of spare parts. Some air force pilots were unable to train because too many aircraft were being repaired.
Soldiers have experienced increasing levels of stress and there was a lack adequate leadership due to some 21,000 vacant officer posts.
The report said the government needed to pursue reforms "with greater urgency" and increase defense spending.
A lack of funding and inefficient management structures and planning were behind the problems.
Germany has cut defense spending since the end of the Cold War. In 2017, it spent about 1.2 percent of its economic production in 2017 on the armed forces, which is below the 2 percent target.
Germany's lack of military readiness 'dramatic,' says Bundeswehr commissioner
But on the plus side she is cuter than the Russian defense minister.

Russian defense minister:
The EU is basically the GU (German Union) so...
They could have limitied effectiveness but mosy likely a speed bump against the former Soviets.
That's very stylish. Something about weeding out the Neanderthals.
I guess this means we can bring US forces home now and abrogate the treaty.
LOL
I suppose it’s what it will eventually evolve into.
The whole thing is a farce. There isn’t the slightest chance Russia intends to invade the EU. The EU Army is a joke. NATO an outdated defense pact is doing all it can to expand east in an offensive manner. And Europe is being overrun by moslems, arabs, afghans and africans.
It’s all a big joke.
Wow... I had no idea.
Could it be that some countries take threats to their national security more seriously than others?
When the Solidarity movement was gaining ground in Poland for greater freedom, the Soviet and East German leaders made it clear to PM Jaruzelski that his nation was in a vise between the two and a Czech ‘68 style invasion might result if he didn’t get things under control.
Now it’s Merkel’s Germany and Putin’s Russia who are pressuring Poland and it is even eerily similar to September 1939. Both by the way have been very accomodating to the Muslims in their countries. Poland is anything but.
But the Polish military is not drilling with broomsticks nor is it alcohol-sozzled. Poland’s industries produce tanks & jet fighters, and the people are ready to defend their nation WITH the support of Pres. Trump since his Warsaw visit.
BTW the Polish pastor of our parish worships PDJT (non-divinely, of course).

See, another reason to be glad Hillary wasn’t elected President. This would not sit well with her.

Now THAT’S an Ursula! Original Bond girl.
Is it active or being developed? Can’t figure this one out:-)
