The French President, Europe needs an Army to defend against the US. I though Obama said France was America's greatest ally.

Is Macron off his meds.

Although thankfully Britain won't have anything to do with a European Army.

The real threat to France isn't any of those countries. It is from within. In another century or so, they will be a muslim majority country. They will be more like Algeria than France.
