SabreFan1 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 The EU is getting underway with preparations for its own combined army and defenses. Germany is of course the biggest European country pushing for it. Well I guess if you can't take over the continent over the course of 2 world wars.... The UK is less than thrilled. The Brexit however limits their influence. They want to "complement NATO", which loosely translates to, "We want the US to keep pumping money into the overall defence of our countries just in case Russia or China come calling in the future". They already pay so little into NATO as it is and now most of the European countries will have to dip into their NATO money. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/u-s-led-nato-spotlight-europe-pushes-joint-army-defenses-n656976 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush17 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Sounds like some new world order stuff lol. I think it makes sense though to unify countries. I would rather there be a few continental country's or unions over however many countries. Its a good way if done right to help protect everyone. Only issue is corruption can lead to oppression. Its good in theory but what is best? From what I've been reading it sounds like relations between Russia and America are getting very tense. It appears too be more tense over this whole middle east non sense. Who here feels having a few unions instead of 200+ countries is better for the world as a whole? I'm curious what the pro's and con's would be. European Union, North American Union, South American Union, Asian Union, Middle eastern Union? (Not likely to happen). African union? and of course :D Australia lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one or two before that with the battery that's been going for over a century was also full of bone crushing and swordplay. The military related posts that I do create on occasion are usually well received with absolutely no whining. This time however it seems most aren't interested in the story, plus I picked up a whiner in the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
