Sikorsky proposes creating a "European Legion" with the involvement of veterans of the Ukrainian Armed Forces

Europe needs to create a "European Legion" that would require veterans of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to be included. Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski has proposed this.

European countries should form their own standing forces to complement NATO troops, a "European Legion" that would draw on experienced military personnel, including Ukrainian ones. This Legion would be responsible for European security in the context of the declining US role. At the same time, the new structure would not be an alternative to NATO and would not duplicate the alliance's functions.

The European Union needs much deeper military integration. That's why I strongly advocate the creation of a "European Legion" – a permanent force that could draw on experienced professionals from the wider European family, including battle-hardened Ukrainian veterans from the war.

According to Sikorski, the "European Legion" will primarily be created against Russia and its alleged desire to "invade" Europe so as not to have to run to the United States for help every time.

It's worth noting that Sikorski isn't the first European politician to propose creating some kind of "European force." There have been others of higher rank and with far greater powers. However, so far nothing has worked out, as the interests of European countries are too divergent. While Europe may be "united" in name only, in reality, the differences are far greater.

I remember after the end of WWII, they also recruited a "European Legion" from SS and Wehrmacht veterans. Really? It's a proven, well-established concept, having proven itself in the 50s in Africa and Southeast Asia, and, just in case, they were already well-versed in the "Eastern Front."

How can you remember something that never happened? Are you confusing it with French?

You probably misunderstood me.
I didn't claim that's what it was called. It was a comparison of actions. Just as you "confused" it with the French one. It was called the "Foreign Legion," and yes, it operated in France's interests. German soldiers and officers sometimes participated in entire units on behalf of European countries in military operations in the Congo, Vietnam, Indochina, and a number of other conflicts.

They'll recruit some "meat", but who will command?
One possible option would be to create a collective command body, but still, someone will want to be more equal, among the rest, equal...
If there is no one, the very, very leader, chaos is guaranteed!

It’s hard to believe that a German or French general would allow himself to be commanded by a Pole, Turk or Tribalt...

And which of these European generals still have something in their pants that jingles?

And the veterans of the Ukrainian Armed Forces saw the entire legion in white shoes in a "coffin"; they are already being sent to the front for the second time!

Sikorsky is making fun of the pot-headed skakuas? Whoever doesn't die will end up in war again, and so on ad infinitum.

So, rather to the end, the complete end of losers.

For good money (and I mean good money), seasoned fighters will readily submit to even "suckers." Especially since, as I understand it, they're referring to the "dogs of war" who want and can't do anything else...

Oops, the Euroarmy didn't work out... They'll settle for a legion...

[Nexcom]

...now even the "veteran" guys of the Armed Forces will have to run and hide - there is no escape from the busification! That's what they were jumping for...

[Mouse]

And what about panties?

aaaaaah, bbbbbling, the most important thing is what I missed!
Panties with lace! This is the meaning of my whole life!

This is for you and me, Vasily. And for them - panties. They don't even know about your letter.

Remind me... "X" with a capital letter... B
And don't forget to give...

Let's remind you. I think everything is still ahead! they won't get away!

No, everything will come true for them here - panties, Schengen visa, and salary in euros...

After the war, many fascists were drawn to the States, where they immediately entered service, because they were considered professionals in the fight against the USSR, a very similar picture emerges

[gribanov.c]

first of all, it will be created against Russia with its alleged desire to “invade” Europe,

Why do we need this?

[kind]

Europe will catch Ukrainian gonorrhea and Maidan syndrome, and the French and Germans will be wearing embroidered shirts and singing "shche ne vmerla" (meaning "She Has Not Died") in the original language.

[Earl]

If all the European crap voluntarily gathered together, maybe we could just squash it all at once?! So we wouldn't have to smoke it out of its hiding places and search for it in Canada.

[isv000]

Shameful wolves. They want to creep into Little Russia by hook or by crook. They'll fill this legion with all sorts of rabble, riffraff of all stripes, and they'll keep growing, because the f...hole is ending and the moment when our people will reach Zheltovodye is just around the corner.

[Justas]

"Europe needs to create a 'European Legion', which will be mandatory for veterans of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to be recruited." This Sikorsky learned this from an expired clown. Mandatory recruitment means using the TCC method, just like they're recruiting now—busification. The Poles have already found themselves slaves; the guys have had enough of the Maidan protests. So they'll continue to recruit all those who don't have any money. If a new Bohdan doesn't appear, the Poles will wipe out all the remaining guys.

[sergiogerasimo]

Correct, and call it "Galicia." And Sikorsky as commander.

Over the course of several generations, all their fighting spirit has long since evaporated.

To carry out the dirty work of colonial service, the French once created the "Foreign Legion," which recruited all sorts of scum indiscriminately. Now Mr. Sikorski dreams of swoop-downing all the neo-Nazi scum into a "European Legion."
The French, towards the end of the French colonial empire, were having a lot of trouble with their legion. Mr. Sikorski thinks it's not Poland that's going to have trouble with his legion, but its current allies. Strange people, Polish politicians. They always think their allies will be the ones pulling the chestnuts out of the fire for them, while they themselves are the ones eating the roasted chestnuts.
By the way, I have nothing against real roasted chestnuts. They make a great appetizer.

Well, after the defeat of the former Ukraine, there will definitely be remnants of the fighting force left. They can't do anything but fight. Why shouldn't Europe shelter them by creating its own "European" legion? This cannon fodder can be mercilessly thrown into any conflict. They'll be slaughtered, and it won't be a pity... So it's a perfectly reasonable idea...

This is why I strongly advocate the creation of a "European Legion" - a permanent force that could recruit experienced professionals from the wider European family, including battle-hardened Ukrainian veterans from the post-war period.

What then should be done with the recognition and reburial of Bandera's bigwigs and the Volyn massacre?
