1. NATO is an obsolete shithole which has put a strain on America and made Europe soft over decades
2. An EU Army would set common standards across Europe
3. An italian battalion would still be Italian and commanded by Italians just as a French or German battalion would be French or German.
4. Just like in the US, war could only be declared by a vote in the EU Council consisting of the 27 member states requiring a 2/3rds majority.
5. An EU defense minister, which has to be voted into power by the EU parliament, would head the EU Army and appoint a Chief of Staff, who himself will be authorized by the EU Council.
6. Currently, countries such as Ireland or Austria or Germany slack off other countries by expensing too little for defense. This would change as 2% of GDP could be set throughout the EU.
7. Any EU citizen could join up in any EU state. Different battalions could have different focuses. E.g. Austria would not need 15 Eurofighters that just patrol Austria, but Germany could have an EU airforce battalion in say Munich that could patrol an 800km radius regardless of state borders.
8. The EU coast guard and EU border patrol military branch could finally fight off illegals. And yes, considering that 24 of the 27 states in the EU Council are for fighting off illegals, this would have a 2/3rds majority.
I though germany couldn't have a standing army after WW2.
Henry Roberts
Germany... Just stop. It's over.
I wish it wasn't. We need to burn this shit down and start a European imperium.
Sebastian Lewis
I sure trust you Mr Schlomo Goldstein!
Jace Campbell
Yeah, that's why it will be eu army. Fucking Germans trying to override the USA domination in commanding. Fuck the eu army, If it ever comes to life it will mean new ussr for all the member states

We are limited to 375,000 active troops I think... as a condition of Russia agreeing to the unification of East and West Germany back in 1990. This was because at the time East and West Germany had together over 1 million active soldiers. The letter with that restriction can be easily be torn up if we asked Putin and offered to get rid of current sanctions. But at 200,000 active soldiers we are nowhere near 375,000.
But post WW2, no restrictions applied.
Evan Sanchez
Fuck off GERMany, we've had enough of your autism.
Nathan Walker
>>there exists an institution with immense administrative power over you >>you have almost no influence over it It is only voted into power by the people. The EU Council consists of the elected 27 member state governments.
Not sure what you are getting at.
Zachary Torres
This.
Luis Reed
>>This would change as 2% of GDP could be set throughout the EU. >Just as it's set in NATO?
No, NATO has only 2% as a guideline. The EU could actually set it as a law.
Levi Rivera
Trump is actually doing the right thing. NATO is an agreement between member states. Inserting a new sovereign power into NATO cannot be done without our permission.
Bentley Wilson
This seems fake. The EU hasn't had any serious discussions on this, plus, they can't afford an Army AND the social welfare programs they in place.
Angel Smith
Of course this is coming from a fucking German. You guys need to stop trying to take control of Europe all the fucking time/
Noah Williams
What are Nigels doing on this thread? You are not among the 27 EU memberstates any more, so just buggar off.
David Rivera
>It is only voted into power by the people. The dutch and us know how important popular vote is to the EU.
Ian Reed
With the exception of the People's Republic of Finland, where the slaves are conscripted. Well, at least EU war will have some quality troops helping the Muslims. Shouldn't let it be too easy, now should we?
Connor Jenkins
Quality post.
This is the reason why the U.S. Constitution is so important. It's designed to make it difficult for government to do this type of thing.
Luis Martinez
Fuck
Aaron Reyes

I imagine the EU army would be about as efficient as the EU bureaucracy.
Hudson Sullivan
Its very hard to deny he's now a Russian stooge. Why on Earth would he oppose to a European army?
Adam Brooks
germany... please stop already we have EU parliament EU currency now EU army we are de facto a federation already but this is not what we signed up for when will the ride end?
Samuel Perry
Can Germany just act like a normal fucking country just once? Why do you niggers have to take everything to the extreme? Also, if Germany did control an EU army it would be full of commies and sand niggers and be used on whites.
Juan Long
>EU can barely function because none of the countries are that similar >thinks an army controlled by people who don't agree with each other will work
An EU army would end up exactly the same as the German army, overweight and having to use toy guns because of their gun laws.
Ethan Myers
>The dutch and us know how important popular vote is to the EU. Explain. Last I checked, the EU Constitution was abandoned, even though the majority of representatives of the people in the EU were for it - only a slight majority of Frenchies and Dutchies were against it. Why is France against EU-wide referendums, by the way? Why are you against democracy???
Isaac Phillips
We are standing with the USA on NATO's side against EU tyranny. Just because we were your friend doesn't mean we aren't now your enemy.
Luke Gomez
We don't need another military power. That would escalate in a traditional conflict. We need better agreements with Russia.
>b-but muh Russia menace
Suck it Poland, South Europe isn't gonna get dragged in a war for you.
Noah Peterson
Now the fucking Germans want a hard brexit. Ffs make up your mind merkle.

Fuck off you fucking kraut.
Jordan Hall
It would just be a policing force against nationalists while they give muslims free leisure to rape and kill us.
If i see an EU army up here im going to take up the old family tradition of sabotaging germans.
Jeremiah White
Im for it, the only fear I have is if for some reason a war broke bettween eu members then your fucking army could start shooting at you.
But I belive our boys have the moral to do not so
Nicholas Davis
>we are de facto a federation already but this is not what we signed up for
Ahhhhm, dude, it says so in the FOUNDING AGREEMENTS in the Treaty of Rome from 1957... "ever closer union". What did you folks think it was supposed to mean? Like freedom of movement, capital, goods, services etc. plus cooperation on the military and a common foreign policy have been around for decades.
You should have read the fucking constitutional agreements of the EU.
>when will the ride end? Whenever you invoke Article 50, which every state has the right to do any time, dude.
Ayden Robinson
>german flag
Every fucking time. Sad!
Dylan Evans
nailed it
Cameron Morris
don't agree with the EU army idea, but if Trump pulls the US out of NATO, then an EU army is going to become a reality
either US stays involved in European security (and thus in control of Europe) or you pull out and lose influence over Europe
you can't have your cake and eat it (ie what Trump wants - no US troops in Europe, but European obedience to the US)
James Hernandez
>An italian battalion would still be Italian and commanded by Italians just as a French or German battalion would be French or German.
And would it be in Italy, France or Germany respectively ?
No, they wouldn't. These things are designed entirely to suppress internal revolts and this tactic has been used by empires going back forever.
Fuck your disgusting EU dream to destroy everything European, you and your kind should hang from trees.
Isaac Powell
>was abandoned It was modified and adopted without a vote. Hope we get out soon. Cooperation between nations shouldn't come at the cost of national sovereignty.

I would literally support the russians before id let you fucker fight for mohammed, its a road from russia to sweden in my region, dont you cucks think for a second we wont secure that road so they can rape their way through whats left of sweden.

Jesus, you are delusional. Illegals do not just hurt Germany, they hurt Italy too, mate.

If the EU has no intention of protecting its borders. Then what exactly is this army for?
Wyatt Brown
Like... guys... I get the whole "no more brother wars", but seriously, the Krauts are seriously starting to get to me.
Julian Adams
I want a European army, but not an EU army.
NATO must be purged from our content and Europe must re-assert itself as the cradle of modern civilisation.
White America may be an ally of convenience, but much of their ideology and culture - rooted in liberalism both social and economic - has poisoned our continent.
Joseph Perez
Here is why you are a retard. 1. EU army would make your ass nuked in no time to anglo tricks to instigate another war on continent.

Spanish soldiers would be slow to shoot other Spaniards
But after a while EU army units would start rotating through the other countries, as a way to underline friendship and co-operation etc etc. Next thing you know all the Spanish soldiers are in Finland while Spain is full of armed and dangerous Germans.
What fun.

Estonia you have to be smart. You're a tiny country. One way or the other you'll have to align yourself with another bigger country.
So pick your poison well because in any case you'll have to cede some sovereignty.
With Russia I'm not sure what kind of shit you'd get to be honest. But with the EU it's 100% guaranteeed that in the long they will relocate heaps of Africans there.

Point 4. only a 100% majority for war declaration or bust. No one gets drag´d in the shit by others. War is no child shit.
Point 6 we can get even back to 1%
27 membres each gives 50k man we out number US and Russian forces by far and safe money and have 1st world best gear in the world.

NATO only RECOMMENDS spending 2%. It's not a demand.
I wouldn't mind setting a demand, but it should be lower, somewhere between 1% and 1.5%
Aaron Taylor
>no external threats >no foreign military objectives Gee, I wonder what an organisation with the stated objectives of destroying the nation states of Europe and that enables foreign invasion and colonisation could possibly want an army for.
because i dont want germany trying to take over europe three times in the space of 100 years
