EU creates mega-army

[Kingpoleon]

Good to see Germany taking a lead role in these affairs. France is a bit more iffy, considering the broad support in that country for Mélenchon and Le Pen.

That said, will Ukraine ever be allowed to join the E. U.? Or will Russian intimidation continue to prevent it?

[Kingpoleon]

you guys got this? again?  We (the US) can leave now?  Germany won't be invading anybody in twenty five years?  We're getting tired of keeping you dumb whiteys from killing each other, will you finally be able to control yourselves?

You have to love how we still have restrictions on the German military, despite it being increasingly clear that the country is one of our greatest allies and not a potential military threat to liberty.

It is time for us to leave. Have a friend stationed in Germany now, as well as vets that have been there. We have played our part for close to 80 years and now it's time for Europe to stop fooling around and stand this up. Russia "could" roll them up but wouldn't get very far before it went nuclear and it's not in their interest to attack. That is the only reason we are still there.

We have to stay Germany, or we have to allow them to have a standing army.

Germany faces no real threats, it doesn't need a standing army.

Every country has a basic right to a standing army.

So what do you think Bundeswehr is if not standing army?

Limits by foreign powers on a standing army are absolutely unacceptable, at least as long term as a hundred years.
