European leaders want a strong military, independent of the USA
Symbol of the German Bundeswehr
Europe is concerned about Donald Trump, Brexit, and the USA. So much so, it wants its own independent military:
DONALD Trump’s election victory – along with Brexit in the UK- will speed up the plans for a European army, according to Germany’s defence minister Ursula von der Leyen. (Thiel B. As foretold here, more calls for a European army! Guttenberg: ‘There will be a terrible awakening for Europe’. COGwriter, November 11, 2016)
The other turning point triggered by Brexit is the EU’s intention to speed up the creation of independent military headquarters outside NATO. May 8, 2017 http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-us-without-nato-could-mean-no-wars-and-terrorism-in-the-world/5589088
Europe should build its own army and not rely on security guarantees from Washington, the European Commission president said following the election of Donald Trump. At the same time, Jean-Claude Juncker called for the preservation of the transatlantic partnership. …
“We need more security in Europe, and I do not mean just the anti-terror fight,” Juncker said.
“Talking about security we need a different way of organizing a European defense … the French National Assembly in 1954 prevented the European community of defense.”
“We need it now. The idea that the Americans will eternally see to … European security is not true. Independent of the outcome of the US election, the Americans will not see to Europe’s security forever. We have to do it ourselves. And this is why we need a new approach to the European community of defense, including a European army,” Juncker said. …
The EU ministers are expected to meet in Brussels on Monday to discuss plans to strengthen the EU military cooperation and capabilities. 10 November 2016 https://www.rt.com/news/366177-european-army-security-juncker/
Notice also, a couple of fairly recent headlines:
Germany Is Quietly Building a European Army Under Its Command
Foreign Policy (blog)–May 22, 2017Trump tweets propel Europe into new military age
POLITICO.eu– Jun 7, 2017EU developing MEGA-ARMY capable of ‘wiping out Putin once and for all’
Daily Star–Jun 12, 2017
Let me simply add, that wiping out Vladimir Putin and Russia IS NOT what the Europeans are prophesied to do. But the Europeans are working on developing a great army.
Notice also something from German-Foreign-Policy.com:
BERLIN
(Own report) – Experts, commissioned by the German defense ministry to formulate a new White Paper, have promoted Germany to the status of a global regulatory force. …
According to the ministry of defense, the German concept of order is based on the EU’s ongoing military integration. The establishment of a “European Defense Union” remains the “ultimate goal.”
Regulatory Power in the Arc of Crisis
The “White Paper 2016 on Security Policy and the Future of the Bundeswehr” that is currently in elaboration under the aegis of Germany’s Ministry of Defense, is based on Germany being defined in the role of a global “regulatory force.” During the initial presentation of the plans for a new basic military policy document, Volker Perthes, of the government-affiliated German Institute for International and Security Affairs (SWP) declared that Germany is a “responsible intermediate power” that “preserves and develops the European and global order together with others.” …
Europe’s Military Backbone
By its own admission, the SWP would like to ensure the “spectrum of military means” needed for the prescribed “regulatory policy,” particularly through cooperation within the framework of the European Union. “Sovereignty in defense policy is only in reference to the decision of which area and with whom Germany will organize the European division of labor.” …
Independent of the USAThe experts organized within the “Working Group Bundeswehr” to elaborate the White Paper include Henning Otte and Wolfgang Hellmich, two notorious armaments lobbyists. The CDU parliamentarian Otte is Vice President of the German Association of Defence Technology (DWT); his SPD colleague, Hellmich, is a member of the Association for Security Policy, (the former Association for Military Studies – GfW). Both are likely to welcome Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen’s (CDU) recently announced decision to place greater emphasis on joint German-European developments in the acquisition of military hardware. Hence, it is planned to equip the Bundeswehr with the “MEADS” air-defense system rather then the “Patriot” air defense batteries. MEADS will be developed by a consortium of European and US-American arms manufacturers with significant German participation, whereas the “Patriot” system had to be imported from the United States. Similar tendencies of “Europeanization” in the armament industry can be seen in the area of combat drones, tanks and battleships. …
Berlin – Center of Gravity
Minister von der Leyen confessed, at an “Expert Workshop on the White Paper” held in Brussels in late April, that the EU’s “ultimate goal in its ongoing military integration is to establish a European Defense Union.” According to the minister, Germany would thereby act as “center of gravity for developments and decisions” and be ready “to resort to military means also in high intensity conflicts.” …
Differences with NATO
Volker Perthes, of the SWP, had already pointed out in his speech at the initial presentation of the White Paper plans, that the NATO internal “mediating role,” ascribed to Germany, would most likely not be without opposition. Perthes noted that “between the USA and the European countries” a “growing divergence in priorities” was developing. 25 June 2015 http://www.german-foreign-policy.com/en/fulltext/58857
Germany wants to be independent of the USA and have Berlin as the ‘center of gravity’ for Europe’s military.
The Bible tells of a time when the European King of the North, known as the Beast of the Sea in the Book of Revelation, will have a great army:
25 “He shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the South with a great army. (Daniel 11:25)
The “He” above is the European King of the North. He is also called the King of Assyria (Isaiah 10:12), which is a reference in the end-time to Germany/Central Europe.
Since a “great army” is prophesied in the Bible it will happen.
A survey confirms that most in Germany want there to be a large European army:
GERMANY wants to strengthen the EU and build a formidable continent-wide army in the interests of global security, it has emerged.
The majority of Germans surveyed want Brussels to have a “very large” or “rather large” influence in wars and conflict around the world, according to YouGov.
Now Germany and France have grabbed the bull by the horns and set about creating a joint military headquarters.
In the first few months of 2017, concrete projects for a billion-dollar defensive fund will be discussed in order to jointly allocate armament contracts. …
This revelation will be music to Jean-Claude Juncker’s ears, given the Luxemburger has campaigned for an EU army since his election as Commission President.Mr Juncker said in November: “The Americans, to whom we owe a lot to…will not provide the security of the Europeans in the long run.“We have to do that ourselves. That is why we need a new start in the field of European defence, even as far as having the goal of setting up a European army.”Donald Trump’s election as US President has heightened concerns that the European Union should have its own defence network as the Republican is seen as potentially volatile. 12/28/16 http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/747997/Germany-EU-Army-terrorism-ISIS-Islamic-State-France-European-Union-military-YouGov
I have warned for some time that the election of Donald Trump could trigger the desire for a European army and a European strongman.
Consider something posted here one day BEFORE the US election:
If Donald Trump is elected, the Germans will see this as proof that they cannot rely on the USA for their defense, etc. Germany will push for a European army. Some in Europe actually want Donald Trump to win for this basic reason (see ‘Why Europe Secretly Roots For Donald Trump’?). (Thiel B. Germans opposed to Donald Trump, but not too optimistic about Hillary Clinton. COGwriter, November 7, 2016)
This has been confirmed.
Notice something that the old Worldwide Church of God published in 1980:
Finally feeling the chilling embrace of Moscow, the German people may yet call for the Bavarian strongman — the one they feared in good times — to rescue them from their impending doom. (Hogberg G. WHERE Is WEST GERMANY Headed? Plain Truth, December 1980).
Let me add that there is another Bavarian strongman who I have kept my eye on who may one day rise up–and one who is NOT a fan of Donald Trump. His name is Karl-Theodor zu-Guttenberg (see Might German Baron Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg become the King of the North?).
Now we see that most Germans want Europe to have major military influence.
The current German military is called the Bundeswehr. It is reported that:
The Bundeswehr is among the world’s most technologically advanced and best-supplied militaries (Bundeswehr. Wikipedia, viewed 04/28/14)
The biblical ramifications of a Europe that can defend itself apart from the USA are enormous. As far as the MEADS program goes, I reported about that here earlier this month (see Germany chooses MEADS over Patriot; Italian concerns about German ambitions).
The Bible tells of a time when a final Beast power will rise up in Europe. Because of real divisions between the USA and Europe, Europe, despite the fact that it does not seem like it wants to will attack and takeover the USA.
5 O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation. 6 I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets. 7 Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few. 8 For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings? 9 Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus? 10 As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria; 11 Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols? (Isaiah 10:5-11, KJV)
39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain. (Daniel 11:39)
The Bible talks about a beast of the sea that had a deadly wound to one of its heads that was healed:
3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. (Revelation 13:3)
While the above likely has multiple interpretations, such as with the old ‘Holy Roman Empire,’ could this not also refer to a leader whose political career and/or or an empire that was believed to have been destroyed, who later returns?
Notice the verse that comes after Revelation 13:3:
4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him? (Revelation 13:4)
Notice that this beast has military ability.
While many do not think that much will happen with Europe’s military, the recent events in Ukraine, Russian military matters, and the relative decline of the US military are all motivating various ones in Europe in general and Germany in particular to want to step up the military presence in Europe.
Germany still wants to lead all of Europe–the Bible supports that this will happen. The fact that the Germans are getting more and more open about wanting to strengthen an independent European military show that the goal of such a military is intended.
