  2. I dunno why, but this brings a tear to my eye.

    Maybe it’s just imagining after centuries of conflict that it could finally be over and Europe can finally unite as one against others instead of fighting themselves?

  4. I don’t know what to think about this “European Unity”. I feel that in some way its good, but in other it isn’t..

  5. The military is the key identifier of sovereignty. No military, no sovereignty.

    But in general, how will this function? Would Germany interfere with for example Dutch-Venezuelan border struggles?

  6. If Bulgaria experienced something like this the (what is left of) society will have a collective meltdown.

    Pretty cool though that both countries have such trust into each other.

  12. Southern European PIGS countries belong in NATO’s Southern Flank.

    Along with France, would be great in case we manage some closer cooperation as well. Greek, Italian and Spanish NAVY right now as we speak take part in a mission ensuring safe Ships passage, protecting them.

    A good opportunity to respond to Macron’s call.

  13. It’s always funny to listen to the accent and try to guess where the person is from based on accent. First guy has to be German and last one Dutch.

  14. I feel uneasy about the “integration into the German army” as opposed to “integration into a common army”. Even if all the command structure is German, it would send a nicer message instead of one of assimilation. “We are the Germans. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Resistance is futile”.

  16. If dutch would become part of Germany, baveria would still be the place with the least understandable German language
