This was dismissed as being a Brexit fantasy not that long ago. The fool is looking the wrong way if he thinks it's defend against America. Last time France was attacked from the west, by Wellington I believe. to

"“We have to protect ourselves with respect to China, Russia and even the United States of America,” Macron said as he visited the sites of the western front battlefields in northern France on Tuesday."
Well, what with dearDonaldTrump bullying everyone about America First and with his frequent demand NATO countries start paying their due (to him), no wonder that the idea of spending the money on an European Army is dusted off again. I mean, the E.U. doesn't have to spent billions on American military goodies as long as the money is spent on military goodies.

Regarding the RT article and General Putin, the interesting part is that especially the (extreme) left and the Jewish community seems to complain. It warms the cockles on my heart to see some reach out and seemingly agree with them.

The French contingent will be at the rear to lead the retreat. Thought that would be the Italians, the only country that had a tank fitted with 5 reverse gears. |

Do not know about the Italians or tanks but the ferrret scout car and the Champ went backwards as fast as forward. I know because I wrecked a Champ (Well damaged)......one lever ....forward back and a preselector gearbox |

Remember Trump saying he'd run into a school to help kids if he heard there was an attacker shooting there? Well, maybe only on sunny days.  "Trump cancels WW1 memorial at U.S. cemetery in France due to rain President Donald Trump could not attend a commemoration in France for U.S. soldiers and marines killed during World War One on Saturday because rain made it impossible to arrange transport, the White House said. The last minute cancellation prompted widespread criticism on social media and from some officials in Britain and the United States that Trump had "dishonored" U.S. servicemen." www.yahoo.com/news/trump-cancels-ww1-memorial-u-cemetery-france-due-175336812.html |
