EU Army Plans Advance as Germany Tells France to Give UN Security Council Seat to Brussels
Breitbart ^ | 1/9/2019 | Victoria Friedman

Germany has told France to give its permanent seat at the UN Security Council to the European Union so that the bloc can “speak with one voice” as it advances its defence plans.

German vice chancellor and finance minister Olaf Schloz made the proposal during a speech on the future of the EU in Berlin on Wednesday claiming it would be a “bold and smart goal,” reports The Brussels Times.

“If we are to take the European Union seriously, the EU should speak with one voice within the UN Security Council. In the medium term, France’s seat could be converted to a seat for the EU.”

The EU is hell bent on eliminating the member countries, and on forming a “united states of europe” in competition with the USA.

Didn’t we save the Frenchies from the Germans in WWII at the cost of many lives? They are all lunatics.

Germany has told France to give its permanent seat at the UN Security Council to the European Union

Gosh, I didn't know that permanent seats on the UN Security Council were the property of the seated country, to be sold or given away at their exclusive whim.

Any permanent member of the Security Counsel could veto the proposal. I doubt if Russia, England, or the United States would agree.

only they don’t want to give their “citizens” any rights or inputs into the process - only appointed bureaucrats can make the decisions.

“...Germany has told France to give its permanent seat at the UN Security Council...”

Someone might explain to Herr/Frau murky Merkel the reason Germany doesn’t have a permanent seat.

France has been sold out.
So has Germany.
Germany is taking Titular Control (4th Reich) but the money and real control is IslamoNazi/Saudi

Hmm...so uber-Globalist Macron goes for it, and Brussels decides the seat should go...to a German. Think of it as a business opportunity for anybody who is selling yellow vests, gasoline, and empty wine bottles.
