Mileage Psycho Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Our president has been saying for years how Europe needs to better protect itself, well Macron has proposed that Europe create its own army so Europe won't have to rely on the US so much; for some reason this has upset our president................ Our president seems somehow off kilter lately and his remarks on this are weird, I can't find anywhere where Macron said Europe needs its own military to protect it from the U.S., how does our president come up with these odd thoughts? Take a read. Quote Trump, arriving in Paris, lashes out at Macron over defense remarks PARIS, Nov 9 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump lashed out at French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday, saying it was "very insulting" for him to suggest Europe should create its own army to protect itself from potential adversaries. Arriving in Paris for a World War One Armistice Day centenary celebration, Trump fired off a note on Twitter saying Macron had just "suggested that Europe build its own military in order to protect itself from the U.S., China and Russia." "Very insulting, but perhaps Europe should first pay its fair share of NATO, which the U.S. subsidizes greatly," Trump added, returning to his repeated demand that European nations do more to help fund the Western alliance. Macron said on French radio on Tuesday that Europe needed a real army to reduce reliance on the United States for defense in the face of a resurgent Russia. "We won’t protect Europeans if we don’t decide to have a real European army," Macron said. "Faced with Russia, which is near our borders and has shown it could be threatening - I want to build a real security dialog with Russia, which is a country I respect, a European country - but we must have a Europe that can defend itself on its own without relying only on the United States," he added. The European Commission executive later echoed Macron's call for a European military capability. European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker is a long-time supporter of the idea the European Union should have more common defense capability. The Commission's chief spokesman, Margaritis Schinas, said the EU was working to collaborate on defense procurement and research as well as developing EU military peacekeeping capabilities. "I don't think that this defense identity will start with an EU army," Schinas said on Tuesday. "At some point in time, probably down at the end of this process, we may see something that people already describe as an EU army or an EU pooling of resources to make this EU defense identity more visible and more meaningful," Schinas said.

Take a read. Well, we all search for the truth where we want to I guess. Took me one quick search: “We have to protect ourselves with respect to China, Russia and even the United States of America,” Macron said on French radio, according to The Wall Street Journal. I'm all for it though. Let them build whatever they want. NATO can go right down the tubes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the link, I guess it's Macron's way of telling Trump to fuck off, in any event you would think Trump would be happy with Europe taking on more responsibility.

You don't find that a tad insulting that France...which has been under our protection (along with the rest of those Euro-trash misfits) since WWII mentions it needs an army to protect itself from the very country that has been protecting it? FIgures. We should all be happy that those twats want their own army.....we should change our number. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
