#2 This statement echoes German Chancellor Angela Merkel's recent comments about the need for Europeans to take their destiny into their own hands, and Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker's words last year that "Europe can no longer afford to piggy-back on the military might of others."

Let 'em talk all they want. The fact is that they no longer have the will to defend themselves, and even if they did the ~~Soviets~~ Russians could be marching straight to the Rhine, but the bureaucrats will still be arguing over the regulations covering button size on the uniforms.

#6 If the Islamic troops were smart they'd settle down for another five years. Promote their own to behave and join the various militaries (german, Italian) and learn as much as they can.

I think they got over confident early and the results will be bad for them (and bad for Europe, naturally).

#8 Luckily they are not smart, and they are super arrogant to boot. Problem is they (in)breed like rabbits.
