German Chancellor Angela Merkel called for the formation of a “real, true” European army during a speech to European Union ministers on Tuesday, lending support to the suggestion made by French President Emmanuel Macron last week.
They don't propose to do it with the levee en masse or with panzers and Stukas, but they do assume they will dominate what Europeans will voluntarily give to them.
An imperial state can't survive without a monopoly on military power that ejects America from the continent. That's all you need to know about the European "real, true" army.
But you know how I feel about the European Union.
UPDATE: And for other Europeans who want a European army, ask the French if they will turn over their nuclear weapons and aircraft carrier to a pan-European military under the control of Brussels.
