Re: Do you want Germany to raise military expenses?
Didn't know the mandate doesn't actually exist. But for small countries like Netherlands or our southern neighbours spending much on the military doesn't really makes much sense, what's there is good enough for the role we have, a specialised supportive one. We aren't going to win any war we don't stand a chance, but can assist allies when needed. I would feel better if the larger countries would have a larger army though

Fine enough... and erhh... what is that so special supportive Dutch role? Must be special indeed. And wrapped in secrecy.Originally Posted by Fragony

Worst idea ever, the EU's #1 priority is protecting it's bureaucracy, so they will be scrambling foreign troops with little to no affinity with the country they are stationed over member-states, why give the already pretty damn totalitarian EU more tools

Why France should put its nuclear deterrent at the service of, say, Latvia or Hungary?
Why any country should be hostage of others' foreign policy/demands?

Do Americans complain the Texas nukes are Hostage to New York or Ohio? United States of Europe is the federal government and that will control the Euro-Army.
As for Fragony's points. Armies will become mixed and getting cross stationed over the continent. Military drills to Ode to Joy.

Hello George.
There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Re: Do you want Germany to raise military expenses?
And ease the tremendous financial burdain the french nuclear component is (thanks!), in order for us to begin a much needed update of our conventionnal forces. I'd like to see that.
German and finnish friends, would you be pleased to fund EU's nukes? If so, welcome.

Re: Do you want Germany to raise military expenses?
Well, there is no Euro-Army, and no EU Federal Government. But there is conflictual interests within Europe.
So until EU being really a democracy, I don't want the bombs used for other purposes by others countries than for what they are built for: Not be be used. Thanks
