President Emmanuel Macron of France has called
for a "real European army" to defend the
continent against Russia, China, and even America.
Mr Macron, who has pushed for a joint EU military
force since his election last year, issued the
call while on a tour of northern France in the
run-up to the centenary of the end of the First World War.
"We will not protect the Europeans unless we
decide to have a true European army," Mr Macron
said in the interview at Verdun, the scene of France’s most bloody battle.
His call came as he is due to welcome Donald
Trump, the US president, and other world leaders,
including Theresa May and Russia’s Vladimir Putin
to France to commemorate the Armistice centenary this weekend.
The French president said the continent could no
longer rely on protection from America, citing
the recent decision of Mr Trump to withdraw from
a Cold War-era nuclear treaty, and even
suggesting its old ally posed a potential threat.
"We have to protect ourselves with respect to
China, Russia and even the United States of
America," Mr Macron told Europe 1 in his first
radio interview since taking power.
"When I see President Trump announcing that he's
quitting a major disarmament treaty which was
formed after the 1980s euro-missile crisis that
hit Europe, who is the main victim? Europe and its security," he said.
Macron called for a "real European army" to
defend the continent against China, Russia and the US
h
Faced with "a Russia which is at our borders and
has shown that it can be a threat”, Mr Macron
added: "We need a Europe which defends itself
better alone, without just depending on the
United States, in a more sovereign manner.”
His call followed previous threats from Mr Trump
could not bank on America protecting them if they
failed to meet their annual defence spending commitments to Nato.
This prompted Mr Macron to declare last month:
"Europe can no longer rely solely on the United States for its security.”
While he enjoys good working relations with Mr
Trump, Mr Macron has called his "America First" isolationism “worrying”.
Last month, he laid into the US president’s
policies on Iran, Arab-Israeli peace, climate
change and migration in a speech to the UN General Assembly in New York.
In an apparent swipe at Mr Trump, Mr Macron said:
“Nationalism always leads to defeat.
"If courage is lacking in the defence of
fundamental principles, international order
becomes fragile and this can lead as we have
already seen twice, to global war."
The EU launched a defence pact called the
Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) last
year. The pact will have the backing of a new
multi-billion euro defence fund to develop
Europe’s military capacities and make the
continent more strategically independent.
The European Commission on Tuesday boasted that
it had done more than any previous EU executive
to boost defence cooperation, pointing to its
activation of long-dormant clauses in EU treaties
to allow countries to pool defence research funding.
Its chief spokesperson said: “'If there's a
commission that has put forward the need for a
meaningful defence identity for the EU it's this
commission. This is the commission that has woken
up the Sleeping Beauty of the treaty of Lisbon.
“I don't think this defence identity will start
with an EU army and we'll do the rest. We have to
start with the rest and at some point we may see
something that people describe as an EU army.”
Jean-Claude Juncker, the president of the
commission, is in favour of boosting EU defence,
saying in 2015: “You would not create a European
army to use it immediately. But a common army
among the Europeans would convey to Russia that
we are serious about defending the values of the European Union.”
Britain is keen on forging a security treaty with
the EU that would continue to grant it access to
continental databases, weapons contracts and
intelligence sharing after Brexit.
But it has always argued against the idea of a
European army as a competitor to Nato.
In September, Air Chief Marshal Sir Stuart Peach,
the former UK Chief of the Defence Staff and new
chairman of Nato's military committee, warned
against the idea, saying: “Why would you
duplicate? The answer, of course, we believe, is
you wouldn’t want to duplicate.”
Britain and France, both nuclear-armed, are by
far Europe’s two biggest military powers, and in
2010 set up a Combined Joint Expeditionary Force
to cement long-standing ties in defence.
Defence analysts expressed scepticism over the
concept of a European army any time soon.
Bruno Alomar, professor at the School of War in
Paris, said the idea of creating a "common strategic culture" was interesting.
"But there exists a fantastic gap between
European defence dreams of Emmanuel Macron and
the reality of very powerful disagreements
between European partners on defence issues," he told AFP.

'From South America, where payment must be made
with subtlety, the Bormann organization has made
a substantial contribution. It has drawn many of
the brightest Jewish businessmen into a
participatory role in the development of many of
its corporations, and many of these Jews share
their prosperity most generously with Israel. If
their proposals are sound, they are even provided
with a specially dispensed venture capital fund.
I spoke with one Jewish businessmen in Hartford,
Connecticut. He had arrived there quite unknown
several years before our conversation, but with
Bormann money as his leverage. Today he is more
than a millionaire, a quiet leader in the
community with a certain share of his profits
earmarked as always for his venture capital
benefactors. This has taken place in many other
instances across America and demonstrates how
Bormann’s people operate in the contemporary
commercial world, in contrast to the fanciful
nonsense with which Nazis are described in so much “literature.”
So much emphasis is placed on select Jewish
participation in Bormann companies that when
Adolf Eichmann was seized and taken to Tel Aviv
to stand trial, it produced a shock wave in the
Jewish and German communities of Buenos Aires.
Jewish leaders informed the Israeli authorities
in no uncertain terms that this must never happen
again because a repetition would permanently
rupture relations with the Germans of Latin
America, as well as with the Bormann
organization, and cut off the flow of Jewish
money to Israel. It never happened again, and the
pursuit of Bormann quieted down at the request of
these Jewish leaders. He is residing in an
Argentinian safe haven, protected by the most
efficient German infrastructure in history as
well as by all those whose prosperity depends on his well-being.'

Please consider seriously the reason why these elite institutions are not discussed in the mainstream press despite the immense financial and political power they wield?
There are sick and evil occultists running the Western World. They are power mad lunatics like something from a kids cartoon with their fingers on the nuclear button! Armageddon is closer than you thought. Only God can save our souls from their clutches, at least that's my considered opinion - Tony
