Is it active or being developed? Can’t figure this one out:-)
EU powers ON!
Are they going to come over and burn Atlanta and rape the women?
I read not long ago that the Luftwaffe (yes, they still call it that), the pioneers of close in air support, had around a dozen operational ground attack aircraft. The Bundeswehr, whose predecessor pioneered armored warfare, had fewer than 100 working tanks. And the Deutsche Marine, whose predecessor pioneered submarine warfare, had no working U-boats.
Cool!! Just pay us the billions you owe in Nato payments in arrears, and we will move our bases and troops to Poland, who wants us there, and it is current in its payments.

Please let it be so! Why should we defend Europe when it is determined to commit suicide by a combo of not having children and admitting Muslims? Russia is not their problem.
[ This could be a bluff to get Trump to stop criticizing NATO. If so, it’s not going to work. ]
LOL, if so, I hope the President calls their bluff. I’ve got popcorn ready to go (new box opened last night!).
The only force to possibly have their asses handed to them quicker than the Iraqis.
Thats good. No democracy at the top level. But that is where the Army is controlled. You see how this works. It almost happened in America. The vote in Europe is just for show. You can vote for low level Ministers. But the top people are all appointed. Europeans get no say in it. Elsworth Toohey would have loved this. Its like they have XI envy. They are adopting a Chinese style politburo.
Notice the difference between Europe and America. Europe has no freedom of speech. You cannot vote out the ruling party. You cannot vote out the President. If the elite go against any country or sub-group of people there is no recurse. The elite in Europe have all but dissolved their democratic shackles.
In the US they are trying to do the same thing with super country groups like the UN or the WTO. And they also like to create GSEs like Freddy and Fannie. Or they give governmental power or funding to groups like the ABA or Planned Parenthood. All this should be illegal and we should always fight it. The idea is to separate power or funding from the voters.
It sounds inept. But I think its fine. We can just pull out of Europe and but our armies where we need them. Its not like they have helped us too much. I like it. We can move our troops to England.
I have always believed there is much more to the EU than meets the eye. Germany is definitely the dominate country in the EU. And Germany historically has been an aggressive, power seeking nation – always. They’re militaristic in their bone marrow. I can visualize, in time, Germany taking over the EU and making Europe the greater Germany. That was a goal of Hitler’s in WWII. Of course, Britain, Poland and Hungary would cause some problems but Germany would prevail.
Call me a nut case?? You are probably right, but think about it, do some research.
Germany is the eternal enemy...since 1870. But his statements mean nothing unless they plan to partner with Russia.
GREAT!
Let’s pull out about 60% of the US Troops from Germany and see how fast their economy takes a hit!
Before they ever leave, Germany would be BEGGING for them not to go! It’s like just about every city outside of ANY U.S. Military base!
To invade the next country that exits?
Do they plan to call it the Wehrmacht?
The EU will keep its ‘army’ quagmired in its own bureaucratic regulations.
Unfortunately, the EU leaders would use this army to force Hungary to accept the invading wave instead of stopping Muslim and African migrants.
