  • Czechs and Hungarians call for EU army amid security worries

    Adding to the many voices of others. This is something the west has been pushing for years but no one, especially the general public, wanted to support it. But today things have changed.

    The UK government has strongly opposed any such moves outside Nato's scope.
    Thanks to Brexit this isn't a problem any more.

    The Czech, Hungarian, Polish and Slovak leaders are coordinating their foreign policy as the "Visegrad Group".
    The above is a good side note.

    Last year European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker called for a European army to give the EU muscle in confronting threats from Russia or elsewhere.

    This is from a German media source.

    Visegrad countries urge EU to build a common army

    "We must give priority to security and so let's start setting up a joint European army,"
    German Chancellor Angela Merkel agreed that security was "a fundamental issue" and that the EU member states could do more "in the areas of security and defense." She also insisted that countries focus on "finding common ground" despite divisions over the bloc's migration policy. "People will only accept Europe if it ensures their [economic] wellbeing. We must be leaders in the area of technology. We want to offer well-paid jobs. We have a lot to do," Merkel added.

    thanks, mad Vlad... with your help Europe is uniting (well, somewhat anyway) and pushing you back just like Ezekiel says before you turn around & get drug into that Gog / Magog mess......

    me thinks the Iranians will do something more outrageous than usual, compelling a Western reaction and Russian response...

    mad Vlad; --- me thinks Putin resembles that enlightened despot Mad Vlad the impailer
