Europe and the US have been sharing common values for decades, but the former shouldn’t count on American military assistance any longer and should look towards other power centers, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has argued. It is 30 years since the end of the Cold War revealed “a new narrative of global power distribution,” Merkel told lawmakers in Berlin. “There is a military and economic superpower, the USA,” which Europe has been tied up with “through a system of values,” she said. Despite all the differences, “there is still the commonality between us,” the chancellor admitted, but warned against setting one’s hopes too high when it comes to the future of US-Europe ties. [ link to www.rt.com (secure)] She wants her own European army anyway. Not just for having an EU army, it mean diminishing reliance on American equipment and weapons systems and greater use of European made kit,which obviously the US wouldn't want.Its ok...there will be heaps of man power now, The swelling ranks will be culturally enriched with fresh intakes of bored jihadists with lots of experience already in the field of operations.... And its not just a case of IF...but WHEN.
