What's so bad about the idea of a United States of Europe with it's own army?
>>
Nothing, that would be a great idea. Provided there is some swiss like system to respect all the different peoples in it, ofc.
>>
Well personally I have absolutely zero motivation to fight for the EU. For my own country I would fight if needed
>>
>>60154231
It would be a good idea if can manage to implement a competent chain of commanding with the 27+ different official languages, not counting the memes ones.
>>
>>60154231
>of Europe with it's own army
It's against 2nd amendment. You have to legalize it first
>>
>>60154231
because actions taken by the army may not be in the interest of, or even act against a minority of individual countries within the EU.
>>
>>60154231
It won't be at the service of the EU, it will be at the service of France and Germany.

English obviously.

Icelandic

That's level 99 cuckery. Anyway I'm not sure your average soldier understands English well enough.
>>
>>60155885
But not all Europeans speak english. Each army in the EU army would probably have to use its own language and maybe the commanders of the army would talk to eachother in english
>>
>>60154231
Nothing,this is the destiny already written for us all
>>
>>60155828
Frisian. Nobody speaks it so everybody can learn.

The big one for me is that the eu is a bureaucratic mess. Look how long it took to get weak sanctions on Russia.

Imagine now that the Argies have invaded the Falklands. First there is going to be discussions for months, then the EU will set up a diplomatic mission to see if the argies are really on the falklands with a meeting between the UK and Argentina held in Spain, then some more discussions about who actually owns the falklands, then they'll agree to send a small task force there, when they die they'll debate for another 6 months about whether the falklands are worth saving any more and all will agree that sanctions are enough and Britain as former colonising country should pay reparations to Argentina.
>>
>>60155885
yeah but it would be australian english not british english
>>
>>60157766
>Imagine now that the Argies have invaded the Falklands.

I don't think anyone would care about your little pile of rocks in the Atlantic

We'd give refugee status to the residents and call it a day.

>>60154231
Nothing, if implemented wisely.

EU combined spends a large chunk of money to military yet capabilities are relatively weak.

Securing outer EU borders should be in everyone's interests.

>Afghanistan war
>more UK soldiers died from USA friendly "freedom" fire than rebels
>They spoke the same language

Gee, what could possibly go wrong with an army speaking different languages...
Don't start on the use english meme, since soldiers are trained to shoot and obey, not understand/speak a fucking language
>>
>>60157974
Swedish speakers and Finnish speakers fought together in the Finnish wars.
>>
>>60157925
Border security isn't the only thing an army would do. It also doesn't really matter to the same degree for the UK, as it's outside of Schengen (if you're talking about security from illegals). We'd want to spend less resources for the strength of security than others, already a conflicting point showing it wouldn't work.
>>
>>60154301
Word.
>>
>>60158113
Border security in the sense you're referring to it wasn't the first thing in my mind.
>>
>>60158174
fair enough mate, but my point still stands for the aspect i think. if you're talking about defence from invasions, we already have NATO to deter and help.
>>
>>60154231
>wanting to die for a bunch of unelected german jews.

Not vouching for the UK/Ireland (or the U.S.) but about this language thing, but I mean you are all typing fluent English to each other right now

>>60158227
Well, I see benefits for everyone in streamlining equipment at least. E.g. there are at least 4 different types of MBTs on top of ex-Soviet models used by EU countries which I doubt is efficient for anyone. Just by looking at the number spend on defence and what the combined forces are at the moment, makes me think there are benefits in creating a combined EU army. The interests aren't that different between EU countries in my opinion.

Although there are dangers in EU army. For example we Finns feel that we were left painfully alone in -39. It would be even more harmful to be left alone in a situation where we have put all our money to a EU army which would decline to fight in the Finnish front.

Nah, luxemburg.

They arent important but very central.
>>
>>60158533
Well of course economies of scale and all that would benefit everyone in terms of equipment. But sovereignty of power over your own armed forces is pretty critical imo
>>
>>60158533
Well the thing about an EU Army is that supposedly that army wouldn't have a choice but to defend the borders of the European country
>>
>>60158612
Should only be allowed in border and foreign territories, the rest is managed by national forces.
>>
>>60158582
Central to what? You realize Europe is not just France and Germany, right? Not that this isn't a retarded idea in the first place.
>>
>>60158603
>But sovereignty of power over your own armed forces is pretty critical imo
Yes it is, but that is because you have to look out for your interests, right?

For example what are those for UK?

But how do we kill each other if everyone uses the same army?
>>
>>60154231
>USE
marginalizes countries (or states) with low population in decision making
causes economy to flow to the centre even more
causes separatist sympathies within said outluer nations
is lead by a bunch of globalist, faceless bureaucrats who could not give less of a fuck about the life of a normal citizen
has institutions like eutopean commission that hold ultimate power abd things like european parliament is easily overcome by lobbyist cash
>united army
for reasons mentioned above, I have hard time finding any reason to fight for such a country if the need arises.
>>
>>60158270
Washington d.c.

that is the effective capital anyways, this would just officialize it
>>
>>60158703
Not doing wartime, what's the point of a joint military if it doesn't fight together? I don't really think the French or Germans or Belgians or Greeks or Slovaks or Hungarians or Irish etc that get sent to a Finnish/Romanian/Baltic front are going to start doing anything besides helping, why would it matter if you're one nation anyways?
>>
>>60157863
>little pile of rocks

Don't underestimate the size of the Falklands, they're bigger than Cyprus and Kosovo. About the same size as Montenegro. Certainly not huge, but big enough to be of use. It's a pity we haven't utilised or colonised it properly.

Because we have literally nothing in common with any other European country except for Ireland, and we don't need to be dragged off to any more wars to please kike bankers on America.
>>
>>60154231
National politicians would have less power and there would be less demand from lobbyists to corrupt them.

At the same time European politicians would be more attractive and greater pressure would be put on them.

I'd like to see EU get its shit together but I'm skeptical that forces that keep us working together are stronger than individual interests that drive us apart and at expense of each other.

Even now EU seems to be more focused on bullying Poland over its constitutional crisis than it is when finding workable and comprehensive solutions to migrant waves and influence of external powers like ruinous powers of chao- I mean Russia and geopolitical shenanigans of USA.

>inb4 fuck off obstinate czechfag
I'm personally not apriori opposed to migrant quotas or other burden sharing mechanism as long as the mechanism will also entail measures to reduce migrant influx and not end up to be "open borders exactly as before just with migrant redistribution"

I support the USE.

Capital city could be London because it's the strongest city of Europe or Frankfurt.

EU as it is now is essentially a way for the French, Germans and Belgians to force the rest of Europe to do what they want. I don't approve of sending Irishmen to die in wars just so some French cunt can fatten his pockets.
>>
>>60154231
Catalans independentists would be mad about that. They would lose the chance to become independent and their flag

It's just pathetic how much Europeans want to live in "United States".

It's only people from the countries that make the EU undemocratic to begin with that want this. They're scum and have no self-awareness.
