Euro-globalists Pursue EU Military for “Empire of Peace”

Top officials in France and globalists from across the region want the European Union to develop its own military so it can become an “empire of peace,” as French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire put it in a November 11 interview with the German paper Handelsblatt. Le Maire argued that the EU should be a “green” empire that could stand up to both the U.S. government and Communist China.

Le Maire talked as if Europe already were a unified empire, rather than a collection of sovereign nations where the populations have consistently rejected further surrender of sovereignty. “Europe should no longer shy away from displaying its power and being an empire of peace,” the “Economics and Finance” minister said. As an example of this empire displaying its power, he called on the EU to ignore U.S. government sanctions on the regime in Iran by continuing to do business with Tehran. Le Maire also called for the EU to wage war on legal tax avoidance, which he dangerously and dishonestly referred to as tax evasion.

Part of the effort to make the EU empire “sovereign” is the emergence of a full-blown EU military. The week before Le Maire’s comments, French President Emmanuel Macron declared, “I believe in the project of a sovereign Europe. We won’t protect Europe if we don’t decide to have a true European army…. We have to have a Europe that can defend itself alone. We have to protect ourselves with respect to China, Russia and even the United States of America.” Speaking November 13 to the European Parliament, German Chancellor Angela Merkel praised “European unification” and joined the call for an EU army.
