 Poland rejects EU army, wants US & NATO help instead
By RT.com   16 February 2019
 
Poland’s Foreign Minister has dismissed the idea of creating an EU army independent of NATO at the Munich Security Conference. Poland, he said, needs “an American presence” to compete with Russia, RT.com writes.

Combining the military forces of the EU’s 28 member states has long been a dream of some EU leaders. French President Emmanuel Macron talked up the idea of building a “real European army” to protect Europeans from Russia, China, “and even the US” last year. German Chancellor Angela Merkel gave the idea a thumbs-up, stating that such an army would ensure “there will never again be war between European nations.” The plan also has the support of European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.

Poland knows all about "European" Armies, headed by Germans.

An EU army would fold like the french when Hitler decided he wanted his army to march in the shade down The Avenue des Champs-Élysées in Paris.
