The same crap as usual, but really, one of these days, I really do wonder if any of the real players are going to care much about such words when the USA is no longer the world hegemon. These words are not going to save Ukraine one bit and should Taiwan try the same nonsense, it will do them no good either and I honestly wonder when the rest of these Anglos are getting there asses handled to them on the battlefield in the near future, will such nonsense be the last thing they utter on the chopping block cause all I see are talking heads that don’t seem to realize that they are not ready for a real fight
Indeed, human right issues need to be raised...
The death of Karmein Chan in Australia. Probably the worst crime story you'll ever hear in your life.
They had a major break through this year (2022) in finding the culprit but still unsolved for now. It's completely fucked up.
Should send her home with no deal then. Tired of those virtue signalling Anglos and their house slaves.
Macron is nominally right. The US influence is parasitic in Europe but there are a few problems here
1- The EU bureaucracy is incredibly incompetent and is an American asset thus a European army is not possible. Even if it was achieved it would be a tool of US imperialism.
2- Northeast Europe has an irrational distrust towards Western Europe and hate for Russia. They would sabotage any plan that would decrease US influence in Europe.
3- Germany is full of "status-quo" politicians who are incapable of any drastic action. Even Merkel was like that. French and Italy are not enough on their own for such a plan.
4- France itself is a neoimperialist thus a European army would likely be for doing stuff Americans have been doing for years, but without Americans. France is a nation who develops and procures Africa specific AFVs and keeps a foreign legion just for its interests in Africa. Here, Macron is just scapegoating the supposed dependence to increase European military spending.
5- A European Army with current European governments means more military spending which is the last thing Europe needs. Europe only faces a single non-ridiculous threat which is Russia. And even Russia is not really formidable. They have been failing to defeat a 4th rate military for 9 months. Europe only needs to get its military procurement and personnel affairs right. If that was done we could kick out the US forces and decrease our military spending. We'd still be safe from the only non-ridiculous threat we face.
People who think the European army would decrease US influence are so naive. Such an army is not possible, is not needed, and would be used for "small wars" or for joint American-European Indo-Pacific ambitions. Only the destabilization of Pax Americana can break the US influence on Europe. And that's only possible through US unmistakably losing its coercive power.
