Good news, y’all. The Euros are now working together, putting together a fearsome military force.
Five European Union countries have agreed to set up a new defense body that can be deployed in European and other countries to help with crisis management.
EU countries that have agreed to set up Eurogendfor all possess police forces with a military status. They include Italy, France, Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands.
The new defense body will be based in Vicenza, in northern Italy. It will have an initial rapid reaction force of 800 men deployable within a maximum of 30 days.
Read the link. 800 troops, with enough checks on them to effectively prevent this group from ever doing anything more significant than manning crossroads and handing out rations.
Oh, and they could probably defend Luxembourg from a Paraguayan invasion. I would scoff more were Italy not involved.

One response to “5 EU Countries Set Up Military Policing Force”
One of those countries is really good at building jets.
There is reasoning that is why the terrorists attacked Russia; to drive away any union with Europe and the Russian states-which they just joined.
Of course they are looking for any ME or Moslem connection to countries ‘friendly’ to the US.
We are already leaving NATO countries and the EU will be handling that part of the world. The number and location of the troops will be used as an excuse for not handling this part of the world. They will then call us up and, if we’re smart, we’ll pass and let them send a proper military out(they plan this, its a question of how long they can prevent it).
