RE: Europe's Quid pro Quo

id prefer European army and have the middle east trouble makers like UK US and Turkey out of the equation. Probably only reason we dont have that already is because the western european states dont want to spend more on military, which is necessary in order for eastern european countries to remain chill about russia. russia is not going to hate EU if its arch rival US is not part in the team, but its still good to be on the safe side as leadership and mentality can change quick, and a war should even if lost be destructive enough to both economies to be not worth it.
