        Germany has always wanted this. They feign embarrassment because of their history. A pan European organization controlled by Germany with its own 'proper' army. Anyone seen my tinfoil hat?

        I have sad all along the EU wants to have its own army, why? Nothing to do with defence, solely as to get its hands on the vast military funding each country spends and divert and control this fund. Time to walk is now.

        "to deploy to trouble spots around the world"? Cobblers, it's to deploy around Europe to make the people behave when they rise up against the EU... In my worthless opinion. We already have NATO

        No, no and no - We should have absolutely nothing to do with this. It's ridiculous.
