Why are people against EU army?
We could be as powerful as USA
>>
>>77455509
Because it's incapable as a deterrent unless you produce nukes
>>
>>77455509
Stfu you fucking shill.
Power equals attention and attention means more problems. Get that into your shitfilled skull
>>
>Why are people against EU army?
Because people from the countries of the EU don't feel connections with the other ones.

Tell to a French if he cares about Croatia, tell him if he even knows where is Croatia...

>We could be as powerful as USA
Do you mean the USA are a contestant? If yes, then again, a French feels more connected to Americans than Eastern Europeans and even Western Europeans.
>>
we have no enemies & wars are not the way to mediate in a conflict
>>
>>77455588
You dont need an Army the size of US for deterrent.
It's for protecting our waterways and for ensuring our interests in European neighbourhood (Africa and Middle East)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>
>>77455701
The US military presence is Europe is very low compared to troops Europe has. Europe could defeat them in 30 minutes. But they act as a deterrent because the US is involved in the war against EU. You can't duplicate NATO unless Germany starts making nukes.

Not necessary. But the recent US election showed that US citizens are not willing to play world police anymore, so we europeans have to look that we take care of our defense ourselves

>>77455509
Apparently it's because we hate each other.

French hate everyone that isn't French.
Germany hates everyone to the east of themselves and has bitter resentment towards everyone else.
Spain, Italy, Greece etc hate the northern European countries for the humiliation they've been put through.
Etc. etc.

There may be individual europeans that feel connected to other europeans, be it from personal experience or because of their idealism, but it seems the general consensus is that we hate each other and need to fuck each other over at every opportunity.
>>
>>77455509
Because its another step closer to a federal EU I guess
>>
>>77455509
they are dumb and brainwashed. if the EU had its own army you would be less dependent on NATO and America in general. you'd finally stop being sissy castrated America's bitch. but some of the EU cunts (mostly small and irrelevant) oppose that idea, they enjoy having Yank cock deep inside their asses. pathetic losers.
i am personally 100% in favour of creating a strong and independent EU army.

Yeah if the likes of Germany pulls its finger out of its arse, much of your military equipment is either in storage or cannot be used. An EU army would just be France+.

Ivan please. russia is a corrupted totalitarian shithole. it would be a huge mistake for the EU to get closer with russia. if anything the EU and all the european countries should distance themselves from russia as much as possible and to impose even more sanctions on russia to make it even weaker

>>77456343
your post seems to imply a defensive war against russia.
That's not what we would need a big army for.
If Russia was really a big thread, we could just build a lot of nukes. But if we want to project power in Africa and middle east, we need to be able to fight terrorist there and grant military support to governments who are on our side
>>
>>77456388
russia is a corrupted totalitarian shithole that has two things going for itself: natural resources and military

There are many reasons, but I'd say the most reasonable one is one that's already been observed: Austria-Hungary's multi-lingual, multi-cultural military had horrible morale, unit cohesion, and overall combat effectiveness
The only thing an EU Army would accomplish would be being a pretty little army with absolutely no use whatsoever, a drain of resources for the Union members and a waste of time for all soldiers involved, mainly because the EU has no enemies except the members of it

Why do you feel the need to compete with the US militarily?

The US is spending 3,3% of GDP and is in large debt. The EU economies are incredibly indebted already. Italy for one can't afford more spending. France is cutting its military right now. You are free-riding NATO and hating the US for protecting you. Greece is spending on the army and look how it turned out for them.

What European countries need is a reform from the incredibly socialistic economies, not another grand project that's going to cost billions.

>>
>>77456609
>we secure our access to natural resources
there is literally no need for that since russia's economy is based in selling natural resources to europe and russia is the one who is the most interested in it.
not to mention most of russia's military is outdated soviet crap that barely works (just look at russia's ONLY aircraft carrier, it looks like it'd fall apart any moment). russia is a paper tiger when it comes to real war but if the EU allies with russia, the latter might try to destabilise the EU to make it less stable and easier to control. the EU should never ever ally sneaky dictatorships like russia
>>
>>77456821

The EU is a political and economic bloc, not a military alliance. We have NATO for that. Your government is just pushing the EU army so hard because of the criticism its getting in NATO, which to be fair is valid though not to the degree Trumps taking it.
>>
>>77456966
he is right though. but the EU can get rid of that cuckoldry by creating its own strong military

come on, you guys are 56% and give us shit about brown people? really?

>and trump is a fucking retard who doesn't give a shit about america. but that's a different story
he is a symptom, but the cause is that many americans feel left behind by globalism and want a more protectionist/isolated country.
And we who so far have dependet on USA for security need do see the signs and react accordingly.

Russia has the second strongest military in the world (with USA beeing the undisputed number 1).
The conflict in Syria has shown that Russia can project its power like no other country, other than USA.
And sure, your aircraft carrier is shit, but only because russia has no access to a warm water habour, so it makes no sense to invest in a strong navy.

> but if the EU allies with russia, the latter might try to destabilise the EU to make it less stable and easier to control
i doubt this would happen, since as you said, Russia relies on economic ties with EU and it would be bad idea to piss EU off

>>
>>77457357

I can think of 2 maybe 3 countries in the EU that need to project power beyond their borders and all of them have the capabilities to do so. If the German state want to project power then its up to them to build aircraft carriers and lease bases oversea.
>>
>>77457322
>The conflict in Syria has shown that Russia can project its power like no other country, other than USA.
not really. it's just that russia is the only country that was interested in intervening in that war since syrian government is the last chance for russia to have any influence in the middle east. the war in syria hurts russia's economy quite hard already, and nobody knows how the war will end. russia might lose everything.
>Russia relies on economic ties with EU and it would be bad idea to piss EU off
russia is already trying to destabilise the EU by supporting and funding people and parties like national front, afd and etc. everyone knows that. but since the EU isn't russia's ally russia doesn't have that much access to inner european circles. but if the EU and russia get closer it would change and russia might hurt the EU even more
>>
>>77457459
It would be idiotic to waste money on whiners like you out of "altruism"
>Many benefits
Such as?
Having a military presence in Europe only is useful for campaigns in the Middle East, which has become so incredibly unpopular (Excusing ISIS) that many consider having a foot in Europe to be a net loss, which might be why many in Washington are toying with the notion of dissolving NATO

>>77457337

France tried to intrevene in Lybia and failed, they needed to call USA for help. Russias success in Syria is by no means to be taken for granted, and it greatly increased Russias prestiges as a miltary power. Many EU countries are now talking about cooperating with Russia in Syria.

>russia is already trying to destabilise the EU by supporting and funding people and parties like national front, afd and etc. everyone knows that.
Russia is not some evil power, it inteferes in EU elections because if it feels threatened by EU. If Russia and EU were allies, Russia obiviously wouldn't try to damage its allies.

The problem is that refugee crisis is not a one time thing. With the climate change and the politics in Africa, we can expect much more refugees in the future.

There is no political will for a strong army in Germany, so no, Germany wouldn't be in charge.
It is probably more likely that France would be the military leader of EU.
Other than that, what exactly is bad about alliance with Russia? Estonia is one of the countries who would profit most from it, because then Estonians dont need to fear invasion, and they can increase their trade with Russia

Why not just apply for US statehood if you're so obsessed with taking stupid short-sided measures that undermine your sovereignty to make you as powerful as the US? Everybody can be as powerful as the US if everybody IS the US.

The fact is that Germany could be one of the world's premier military powers if it wanted to be, but it's not because you don't want to put the money and time into doing so. Erasing a bunch of smaller states and haphazardly gluing them to yourself to make you look stronk and scary isn't going to accomplish anything.

The EU's combined economy ($16 trillion) is smaller than that of the US ($18 trillion), and you're also far less willing to spend as much on the military as we are. How many European countries meet the 2% of GDP on the military target? Five?

There's also a general lack of trust between many European countries that makes a unified military unlikely except in cases of extreme emergency (like if Russia decided to invade tomorrow). NATO's command structure is as close as you can get.
>>
>>77462385
Competition was Still the underlying cause.

>>77462447
We have NATO for security purposes, and foreign policy doesn't work for everyone under the same blanket. For example, Croatia and Germany would need vastly different foreign/domestic economic/societal policy because they are completely different countries.

>>
>>77462244
>look, we tried to let africans develop their own civilization and it clearly didn't work out
It was working pretty well up until the slave trade collapsed, i.e. most of Africa's Kingdoms' economies just got skullfucked and the Scramble for Africa so on so forth

When Colonialism "died" European nations took a LOT of economic resources with them and effectively pulled the rug out from these African nations again

And you're not giving merit to those African nations that have done well for themselves post-colonialism

Using the excuse of "They're underdeveloped so let's exploit them" is not beneficial to either party and in the end accomplishes much less than simply working to encourage their economic growth to the point where you can compete with the nations you built up

An alliance with Russia wouldn't be something that Eastern European countries would tolerate, and it would kind of defeat the purpose of a unified EU in the first place. Europeans won't just surrender all sovereignty because it's fun, there needs to be a threat that makes them be willing to unify. Just like how the US had Britain, France, and later Mexico to worry about in its early days (and even the country barely held together).
>>

Why would the people of Austria be so eager to help their companies access the rich, thriving economies of dirt-poor West African countries that they would surrender their sovereignty and risk their lives?

>We could be as powerful as USA
No, even if it happenned now it would take decades to get on the level of the US army and investing twice as much as them which is ridicoulously high, no one wants to pay for that.

Its easy to be in favor for more power of a Union that you ultimately control.

>conscription
We already have conscription here. They tried to abolish it, but it didn't work.

The way it should probably work is that every country provides a number of soliders to the EU force.

How these are recruited, if it is by free will or by threat of prison (as it is here), is up to the states themselves to decide.

This, I don't think EU Federalists realize how hard it is to get all these different states to agree on anything. Look at how much the US struggled to keep all of its states under control in the first 100 years of its existence. And those were states which were all majority English speaking and majority Protestant Christian, not to mention very similar culturally.

Because it was a terrible post, just terrible. "Europe" isn't a monolith like the US, each country maintains its own economic affairs - the EU only has competence in trade and agriculture/fisheries (and for Eurozone members, monetary policy). Fiscal policy remains the sole remit of the Member States. We also have different economic models. France is high tax protectionist, we're low tax capitalist, Germans and Scandis are high tax "capitalists".

I don't give a shit if you're not a monolith, because an integrated military costs communal money. If you have no plan to pay for it, discussing it is pointless.

Kek, there's no such thing. Barely 2% of people in Ireland consider themselves "European" instead of Irish.

>Then the moment we get a politician who leans toward isolationism
Funny how this Trump is pro-isolation thing keeps getting spread around even though he's shown no signs of deviating from interventionism. We're still bombing the shit out of the Middle East, we're still rolling out the supercarriers and sending them to Asia, and we're still the biggest contributors to NATO and the UN.

>I completely understand why George Washington said that "entangling alliances" were for queers.
George Washington lived in a time where it took 3 fucking months to cross the Atlantic.

I'm quite conflicted by an EU army. On one hand, Africa is going to have a population bulge by 2100 and you guys clearly need to slap a navy in the Mediterranean and start sinking invaders as they head north.

On the other hand, an EU army being pushed by Germany would just mean that those soldiers will occupy you Europeans as Africans invade.
>>
>>77464676
>europeans
Not one people. You might as well say Japan and Cambodia should unite because they're both asian.

>english
Don't confuse a common second language with the main language. Nobody has any special attachment to English except the English, if Arabic became more convenient tomorrow you'd all use that instead.

Which has absolutely nothing to do with welfare payments. The EU's budget does not have anything to do with welfare, it invests in capital projects, research and development, CAP, and bureaucracy.

Each Member State gives a certain amount to the EU budget, which is spent on the aforementioned. It doesn't require slashing welfare or anything of the sort, because the European budget has nothing to do with national budgets - Ireland's contribution to the EU doesn't change whether we're running a surplus or a deficit, it just counts as another expenditure.

Its budget is also made up of countries that aren't in the EU but want market access like Norway.

>dialectal difference is the same as learning a new fucking language
You're autistic. Bavarian German and Prussian German was still mutually understandable, English is a completely different language especially for Finns, Romanians, Bulgarians, Greeks, and so on.

There's no commonality between their languages and English, as there was between the variety of German dialects.
>>
>>77455509
>Why are people against EU army?
Are you ready to get conscripted to defend the Bulgarian and Greek boarders.Are you ready to learn Bulgarian and Greek, so you can be stationed here?
>>
>>77464969
The only reason Finns are bad at English is because they did not start learning it in school until recently because they are forced to learn Swedish, which is quite idiotic to be honest.

Except for the Finns who emigrated here, most of them would have found a lot more use for English than Swedish.
>>
>>77464969
Sorbs were slavic people who had to learn German from the beginning and yet they managed it.
Also, all european countries teach english at school as secondary language.
And dunno if you noticed it, but we have Finns, Romanians, Bulgarians, Greeks, and so on speaking english with each other here
>>

>Also, all european countries teach english at school as secondary language.
That is not exactly true.Here you are given an option to choose 2 secondary languages and English is one of the options.We had French,Russian,German and Spanish at my school.

Imagine my surprise, people using the English language on an English-language website! This totally means the rest of their country is competent in English!

You're a moron, that's selection bias.

Because an EU army wouldn't be used on the Islamic horde that currently occupies Europe rather it would be used by central banks to centralize power so that the events of brexit could never happen again forcing all of Europe into one great socially liberal authoritarian state controlled by the bankers. Does that answer your question?

I rarely ever use an ATM normally since you can pay with cards everywhere in sweden.

In fact, you can't even buy tickets for the metro without a card.

In Berlin, the metro ticket machines have card readers but they are disabled "card payments are not allowed on this station". Wtf.

There is also other reasons.

Trade unions are all against money handling, because of the increased risk of robbery.

The government has recently taken a lot of steps against money laundering. Since the taxes are high here, they really want to get at wanglers, not just criminals but ordinary people or small business owners to.

I dont want EU to have a fucking army it can use to project power towards member states if it deems them "dissidents". I don't want non-Finnish troops stationed in Finland and be de-facto occupied. The idea of an EU army scares me, seeing how EU has strived towards complete federalisation and loss of national independence.

We're already more powerful than the US.

Does the US have any bitch country to fight their wars for them?

Just imagine the fucking shitshow of trying to standardize and/or integrate European armies, especially those not in NATO, into one functional organization (command, equipment, doctrine). It would be a political, logistical and bureaucratic hell. It's a retarded pipedream and not worth the effort, even if you don't consider all the possible threats and ramifications it'd pose to member nations if used for malicious intent. At best you could realistically hope for some kind of EU-coordinated cooperation between separate armies.
>>
The battalions would have to be single-nationality through and through, though.

I know for sure that a Portuguese wouldn't be able to take a Spaniard's orders with a straight face, since their language sounds funny to us. I imagine the opposite is true as well.
