Europe Pushes for an Army and an Empire

The EU clearly does not trust America. This is a major reason Europe is talking so much about defense right now. Its neighborhood is a mess. A brutal civil war in Syria is sending refugees streaming across its borders. Libya is threatening to follow down the same path. Many in Europe blame America for the current tension with Russia. In European eyes, America has made a complete mess of the world. It’s time for the EU to step up and fix it—or at least take care of itself.
The Trumpet and the Plain Truth have forecast for decades that European nations would combine forces. However, persuading all these separate nations to work together is a hard sale. Brexit, the migration crisis and radical terrorism, however, may be putting the EU under the pressure necessary to make this happen.
