#1 Of course it's going to strengthen the superstate. That's the whole idea. The EU will use this army not against external threats, but against the European people. Imagine EU paratroopers dropping into Warsaw airport to force the landing of airliners full of refugees. That will be the sort of mission generated for the EU army.

#3 /\ Imagine EU paratroopers dropping into Warsaw airport to force the landing of airliners full of refugees.

My greater fear is paratroopers dropping into the Warsaw ghetto to forcefully relocate refugees.

#5 /\ Yes, I don't seem to recall our 'top men' in Washington asking State's Legislators or their constituents about their opinions, wants or desires relative to Afghan refugees or Central American border crossers being relocated (by the Federal Government) within their States.

Or, did I miss something ?

#6 They might want to talk to the Dutch or Swedish goverments about this; they got their people out at the drop of a hat.
They had already planned it out, and didn't talk to anybody about it
