Does he not remember who helped defeat the Germans?

[Togo]

Macron.....he of the Oedipus complex.

[Togo]

Can't see the yanks helping to fund a EUSSR army through N.A.T.O. payments can you?

[Togo]

Not only that, but why would Macaroni Cheese want a EUSSR army to defend the borders that they don't believe in?

[youngmafbog]

He could get together with the eye ties, they could surrender reverse way change sides collaborate and grass up their own all in one.

Such lovely people.

Not far wrong there Youngmafbog. This EUSSR "army" is not about contesting forces from outside the pyramid scheme. It is to hunt down and contain voices that are against it from within. All dressed up with pretty ribbons and false tenets to fool the sheeple until it is too late. Millions of able bodied, bored, young men from non Western civilisations are now in place to form the phalanx of a force that is willing and eager to fire on and terrorize the local populations into submission. Need training and legally arming first of course. The new model army of the EUSSR.

//Cheese-eating surrender monkeys\\

Les singes qui mangent le fromage et se rendent.

Doesn't exactly trip off the tongue but then again the term was coined by George W Bush.

[DTCwordfan]

a man known to be versed in his French and Spanish, Jack, but not quite the talent of one Dan Quayle.

[ichkeria]

It’s a phrase from The Simpsons

[Jackdaw33]

Never having seen the programme I didn't know that. I presumed it was a Bushism.

[emmie]

some have very short memories, especially the French.

Retrocop, I was going to mention that situation about the cemeteries. Apparently DeGaulle was thumping the table and demanding that all American troops should leave French soil within 24 hours, whereupon Dean Rusk said "Does that include all those in the cemeteries?"
It WAS the Americans wot wunnit. No doubt. From the Western approach anyway. It was the Russians from the East. The British were there, but the Yanks won the war.

[emmie]

it was the Russians, but with lots of armaments from the Yanks, at least that is what i was led to believe.

[ichkeria]

Despite the rather misleading sentence about threats “even from the US”, what Macron is referring to is threats to Europe from other countries (not the US directly) as a result of US policy. Whatever you think of the idea of a Europe army, it’s not hard to see how current US policy might have thrown up some potential future dangers to Europe. So talk of “ingratitude” is missing the point.

The Belgians play the Last Post every night in Ypres in remembrance of WW1.and WW2 is remembered on November 11th.

My granddaughter played the Last Post at The Menin Gate last year, aged 15. Unfortunately, I couldn't go, but they all said how pleased they were that they had done it.
