BRUSSELS (Reuters) - NOVEMBER 13, 2017 / 7:34 AM /
>France and Germany edged toward achieving a 70-year-old ambition to integrate European defenses on Monday, signing a pact with 21 other ?>EU governments to fund, develop and deploy armed forces after Britain’s decision to quit the bloc.
>First proposed in the 1950s and long resisted by Britain, European defense planning, operations and weapons development now stands its best chance in years as London steps aside and the United States pushes Europe to pay more for its security.
>Foreign and defense ministers gathered at a signing ceremony in Brussels to represent 23 EU governments joining the pact, paving the way for EU leaders to sign it in December.
>Those governments will for the first time legally bind themselves into joint projects as well as pledging to increase defense spending and contribute to rapid deployments.
>“Today we are taking a historic step,” Germany’s Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel told reporters. “We are agreeing on the future cooperation on security and defense issues … it’s really a milestone in European development,” he said.
>The pact includes all EU governments except Britain, which is leaving the bloc, Denmark, which has opted out of defense matters, Ireland, Portugal and Malta. Traditionally neutral Austria was a late addition to the pact.
>Paris originally wanted a vanguard of EU countries to bring money and assets to French-led military missions and projects, while Berlin has sought to be more inclusive, which could reduce effectiveness.
>Its backers say that if successful, the formal club of 23 members will give the European Union a more coherent role in tackling international crises and end the kind of shortcomings seen in Libya in 2011, when European allies relied on the United States for air power and munitions.
>Unlike past attempts, the U.S.-led NATO alliance backs the project, aiming to benefit from stronger militaries.
EU ARMY IS FUCKING HAPPENING

>The club will be backed by a 5-billion-euro defense fund for buying weapons, a special fund to finance operations and money from the EU’s common budget for defense research.
>Members will also be required to submit national plans and be subject to a review system identifying weak spots in European armies with the goal of plugging those gaps together.
>Many governments say Russia’s seizure of Ukraine’s Crimea in 2014 was a turning point, after years of defense spending cuts that left Europe without vital capabilities.
>“This is a commitment for countries to do better together,” French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said. “It comes at a time of significant tension,” he said, referring indirectly to Russia’s rising military reach and Religion of Cuck™ic militants who have attacked European cities.
ROLE FOR BRITAIN?
>Despite an Anglo-French-led EU defense integration effort in 1998, Britain blocked formal collaboration on military matters, wary of the creation of an EU army.
>Defense integration was revived by France and Germany, with support from Italy and Spain, in a show of unity after Britons voted to leave the EU in June 2016.
>The EU had struggled in military and humanitarian missions in the Balkans, Libya and in Africa over the past 20 years and were caught off guard by Russia’s Crimea annexation.
>As the EU initiative, known as Permanent Structured Cooperation, has gained momentum, British officials have been pressing for involvement. Britain’s aerospace industry and its biggest defense firm BAE Systems (BAES.L) fear losing out, diplomats said.
>British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson likened London’s support to Gothic architecture, saying: “We are there, like a flying buttress to support the cathedral,” he told reporters.
>In a possible compromise, Britain may be able to join in, but only on an exceptional basis if it provides substantial funds and expertise.
God Australians are niggers.
>European Union Army
>it will be used to actively suppress the native European population and enforce the great replacement

>5 billion euro for buying weapons

kek without NATO you would be Russian clay
Europe is making one large "European Army", this has been something that most of Europe has been wanting for quite some time I would imagine. Though to be fair, this isn't something completely unpredictable or unreasonable, I would argue some would have seen this coming.
I would imagine anyone that complains doesn't want a strong and unified Europe, militarily.
I wonder how this EU army will have any power at all. Probably the US still stronger,.
Top kek anon5 was right!
Soon Europa will be a feudal commie paradise run by the Bathoried corpse of the Hapsburg empire
The US Military budget is still x3 higher than all of Europe's kek
Still not believing me?
then get out, you (or atleast 48% of you)
you would think they would have learned from Austria-Hungary

The main countries will be Britain, France, Spain, Italy and Germany, the rest will oppose like Catalonia and be absorbed into the EU beast as expended territory.
Welcoming the virgins fair, to live a noble life
In the castle known to all - the Count's infernal wife
She invites the peasants with endless lavish foods
But, when evening spreads it wings, she rapes them of their blood
Countess Bathory
Countess Bathory
All day long the virgins sit and feast on endless meals
The Countless laughs and sips her wine - her skin doth crack and peel
But when nighttime fills the air one must pay the price
The Countess takes her midnight bath with blood that once gave life
Countess Bathory
Countess Bathory
Living in her self styled Hell, the Countess dressed in black
Life's so distant - death's so near - no blood to fury time back
The castle walls are closing in, she's crippled now with age
Welcomes death with open arms - the reaper turns the page
Countess Bathory

Because, our second independence day is nigh

All of (((them))) were promised a war.
When it didn't materialize early 2017 due to the unforseen USA election results they are now hell-bent on finding another way.
Question: How quickly can we fuck up those pathetic US bases in europe?
Im thinking about 2 hours since americans are so weak and drained dry of money since they give it all to us everyday. God Dam I love being Jewish!

Everyone thinks that way, and the ones who dont we just buy off sweetie. Worked great we bought your CIA, your schools, your media, we own all of you. And the best part is we suckered you rubes into paying for it, ah-hahaha
They can sign all sorts of shit until the cows come home, nobody is going to war. Millennials are too lazy and weak to go to war, plus anyone who are actually willing to fight are the towelheads in the mid east, and even then all the fight gets taken out of them once they're imported into Europe or America or Canada and they get their gibs and prayer rugs.
But yeah. It's not really a surprise that France would go and lie down under Germany again.
Looks like the Anglo Bros are going to have to save Europe again
By now it's safe to assume that BREXIT will never happen. Not even a immensely watered down version of it.
Good idea You can give young unemployed refugee men a job.
They won't have loyality conflicts if you ask them to shot the native population.

If they really hate mongrels, they should pick on us more often. I don't understand it.
>Looks like the Anglo Bros are going to have to save Europe again
eh, when they save EU last time??
Europe is making a stronger army, "The European Union Army" or some gay shit by unifying the European armies
hitler saved them
>should we roll for first deployments?
why bother trying we in Israel will nuke you from day one and you cant retalliate, lets just say every single ICBM in the us cant strike israel and leave it at that friend.
So do it, go to war so we can end this quicker.
