Britain slams Germany, France for proposing EU army

[PRESSTV] UK Defense Secretary Gavin Williamson has lashed out at leaders of La Belle France and Germany for their proposal for creating a European army that could rival the NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis....
military alliance.

"It is an absolutely crazy idea. NATO has delivered European security for the last 70 years and we should feel very proud of it," said Williamson on Tuesday, adding, "Should we undermine that by forming a separate military force? Absolutely not."

The comments come weeks after French President said that the European Union

...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
needed its own army to counter threats posed by Russia, China and even the US, which leads NATO.

Macron’s idea has been supported by Germany, EU’s dominant economic power, and the two countries have repeatedly expressed concerns that a United States under the presidency of people like Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
should no longer be regarded as reliable partner.

Well, Europe (with the qualified exception of the UK) hasn't been a reliable partner for about a quarter century now, so it works out.

#4 "Separate military force" ?
At that point, there's not even a bad excuse to maintain NATO. Hasta manyana.
In other news, the Germans probably have the Brandenburg and Nord regimental colors tucked away somewhere, so the staffing can begin.

#5 Considering that Germany can't even keep an air wing flying and their tank brigades functional... I ain't too worried about a proposed EU army. It would basically be twenty generals and lawyers filing complaints against the US.

#7 The armed part of the EUSSR would be to suppress any citizenship requests by the kulaks.

One nations personnel used to coerce another nation's for the stability of the post-democratic EUSSR's sinecurists.

They just need some new taxes and a few more rules to make it work!

"Na und?" It's the Turk, with a smirk.
"Ask the Arab." Surprise!
"Ja, ich hab kein supplies!"
"Thanks, illiterate immigrant clerk."
