WESTERN EUROPE MAY UNITE TO FORM THEIR OWN MILITARY; A DEVELOPMENT CONSISTENT WITH GOG-MAGOG WAR
Several European nations responded to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine by building up the defense budgets. The calls for a multi-national European Union military are even more concerning in a decidedly pre-Gog and Magog development.
In a televised speech on Wednesday night, French President Emmanuel Macron renewed his calls for an EU army, saying that Europe had entered a “new era” and would need to boost investment in military defense and energy independence.
DEPENDING ON OTHERS
“We can no longer depend on others to feed us, care for us, inform us, finance us,” Macron said. “We cannot depend on others to defend us, whether on land, at sea, under the sea, in the air, in space, or cyberspace. In this respect, our European defense must take a new step forward.”
‘FREEDOM ALREADY A GIVEN.’
“War in Europe no longer belongs in our history books or school books; it is here, before our eyes,” Macron continued. “Democracy is no longer considered an unquestionable system; it is questioned, before our eyes. Our freedom of our children is no longer a given. To this brutal return of tragedy in history, we must respond with historic decisions.”
He also placed blame for the conflict firmly on Putin.
Macron has long been advocating for an EU military independent of NATO. At an address in the former Western Front in Verdun in 2018, Macron warned of Russian aggression while stating that Europe cannot rely on the US.
DIALOGUE WITH RUSSIA
“I want to build a real security dialogue with Russia, which is a country I respect, a European country,” Macron said. “But we must have a Europe that can defend itself on its own without relying only on the United States.”
Macron has acted on this belief of a dialogue with Russia, meeting with Putin 11 times over the past month. This Franco-Russian candor led Secretary of State Antony Blinken to travel to Paris on Tuesday to hear from Macron directly about his latest conversations with Putin.
Forming an EU military force is expected to be one of the topics discussed by EU leaders at an informal summit this week in Versailles. They are investigating the possibility of building a rapid deployment force of 5,000 soldiers. This will be independent of NATO, whose thirty members represent a combined fighting force of 3.2 million soldiers.
Steps have already been taken in this direction as, for the first time, the EU is financing the purchase of lethal weapons for countries under attack, a decision that European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen described as a “watershed moment.
