SURPRISE! HERE COMES THE EUROPEAN ARMY

The EU, like NATO, was initially just a small group of nations getting together for alleged mutual benefit.

But the EU now has a parliament, with elections, and a foreign minister, and a president and tax laws, and other attributes which form a very big nucleus for a superstate.

But so far that quasi-superstate has lacked a military of of its own. There is NATO, but that includes nations across the Atlantic like the USA and Canada. And there has been a Euro-military operation off the coast of Somalia.

But now that NATO is provoking Russia in Ukraine the President of the European Commission is using the opportunity to call for a European Army to defend Europe from Russia.

President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker is advocating the creation of a Europe-wide army, Germany's Welt am Sonntag weekly reported Sunday.

"Such an army would help us to build a common foreign and security policy, as well as jointly assume the responsibilities of Europe in the world," Juncker said in an interview.

A European army, according to the EC president, could "react credibly" to dangers facing the 28-member bloc or its neighbors.

Juncker added that forming the European armed forces would signal to Russia the hitherto political and economic union is "serious about upholding the values ​​of the European Union."
