Europe on the threshold of a new defense project

In the coming days, more than half of the EU members will announce that they will take part in a new defense project of a united Europe - the Agreement on Permanent Structured Cooperation in Europe (PESCO), reports Kommersant with reference to the Financial Times.

According to the newspaper, a formal announcement of the plans of countries wishing to enter PESCO will take place on November 13 at a meeting of foreign ministers and military departments of EU countries.

“Germany and France, that is, the countries that are behind this project, as well as most of the major EU member states, including Spain and Italy, will declare their support for the initiative. Formally, the project will be launched at the EU summit in December of this year, ”the article says.

It is expected that the project will support two-thirds of the members of the union.

PESCO supporters say that “the project will be more an addition than an alternative to NATO, since it is NATO that will continue to bear the main responsibility for the security of Europe.”

Skeptics point to obvious discrepancies between Paris and Berlin regarding the prospects of a new pact.

France wanted (to see) a small but highly efficient group of countries that would unite around the French armed forces to carry out joint interventionist operations abroad under an EU mandate. Under pressure from Germany (membership) PESCO has increased,

said the head of Carnegie Europe, Tomas Valasek.

Nevertheless, according to Valashek, even in this form, “the organization will be very important for the EU, even if cooperation concerned the joint production of armaments”.

This can not be called a trivial task, since the way European countries spend the funds allocated for defense is extremely inefficient,

added on.

I understand that Johnson put a dove on his helmet? It’s like a pig on a submarine - screeching and stinking, but it’s only worth it when it goes under the knife! !!

to carry out joint interventionist operations abroad under the EU mandate.

What is the intention of the intervention? Do not forget the strongest army in Europe.

Deeper here. One side

to carry out joint interventionist operations abroad under the EU mandate

It is as if they are positioning that there is power and their armies haven’t collapsed, because today they alone will not be able to cope with a well-organized bandit group. And in the political arena, weight is desirable.
On the other hand

PESCO supporters say that “the project will be more an addition than an alternative to NATO, since it is NATO that will continue to bear the main responsibility for the security of Europe.”

There is, as it were, a way to get away from the duties of feeding NATO for free, like it’s better to develop one’s own, at the same time to do the same than to buy what NATO says.
In addition, there is a certain attempt to distance oneself from NATO. After all, if, something their USA will first of all put under attack, and here we would be NATO, and if something, then yes we ourselves ... There is a certain smell of urine from these movements ...

actually vryatli. Have you ever forgotten that Britain gathered from the EU to leave? Even if it really doesn’t work out, it will most likely still work in the American NATO format and not in the Berlin-Paris project.

The Polish guys in the photo need to be saved, they got into a bad company!

[Pravodel]

In history, the united army of Europe has already been seen 2 times: under Napoleon and under Hitler. How it ended is known ... But, God loves the Trinity ... Apparently, Europe decided to implement a third attempt in the hope that it will be more successful. At the same time, let them not forget: whoever comes to us with a sword will die from the sword. On that stood, stands, and the Russian land will stand.

"People-State-Fatherland" - this is the slogan of every Russian patriot. A strong state, a united people, a prosperous country for centuries, which cannot be broken by internal and external enemies.

It can be seen that they are preparing to defend themselves from NATO.

The answer is wrong, but in reality they will go where all the people came from.

Borka then in the photo probably also sent a pen towards Russia. Many of these have already seen history, but all "not salty slurping" cleaned.

Et, they love all sorts of commissions \ committees \ coalitions!
Still, whatever the gynecologist / proctologist will be headed!
In principle, they just have to fight, al face to fill the people that is enough ???

How everything was properly arranged, called a defense project of European scale, but in fact the whole secret is revealed in one phrase:

PESCO supporters say that “the project will be more of an addition, not an alternative to NATO

and if you don’t run into terminology, then Europe creates simply a program for which it should allocate money and everything, just a bureaucratic approach.

Lavrov also needs to be photographed on the tank, there will be a symmetrical answer.

[Sands Careers General]

Who wants to enter PESCO (squeak)?))
