She echoed the call of France’s president, Emmanuel Macron, for “a true European army”. In January the two leaders signed a treaty between France and Germany which includes a mutual-security pledge similar to nato’s Article 5 (as well as Article 42.7 of the European Union’s Lisbon treaty). They know our plans already, but it is not spoken in public view. None of you have any clue! "America let its NATO allies lead the bombing campaign against Libyan dictator Moammar Gaddafi in 2011, only to eventually have to bail out the Europeans when they couldn’t handle it. In what should have been an easy task for first-rate powers versus a third-rate dictator, European states ran out of ammunition and faced shortages of personnel, money, parts and weapons systems. Italy did not have the funding necessary to use its aircraft carrier for long, and France’s carrier had to leave for repairs. America had to provide additional bombs, intelligence, and reconnaissance. Imagine an alliance that can’t fight waging war against a nation with an air force or navy.
As if that weren’t enough, it should be noted that Germany — the world’s fourth largest economy — has an army with guns that cannot shoot straight when too hot, and its soldiers don’t have enough vests, winter clothing or secure radios. Nearly 30 percent of its jet fighters don’t work, and it has few-to-zero functioning submarines, tanks, or heavy transport planes." Good luck you. All of you unarmed citizens are dumb for giving them up. Hey it wasn't ever a god given right in your country anyways! no worries. We will change that! :)
