Zelensky calls for 'army of Europe' | 16 Feb 2025 | Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky has called for the creation of the "armed forces of Europe," a continent-wide military force that could repel potential future threats without the help of the U.S. or NATO. He promoted the idea at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday, reiterating his earlier warnings that Russia could attack the EU after the Ukraine conflict is over, a notion Moscow has repeatedly dismissed as nonsense. "Many leaders have talked about Europe needing its own military, an army of Europe. And I really believe that time has come. The armed forces of Europe must be created," he urged. Zelensky went as far as to suggest that Kiev should be given an opportunity to "build" its own NATO in Ukraine. [This is why Zelensky keeps cancelling elections: he knows he would lose in a landslide. It's time -- long past time -- for this nut-job to be removed from power.]
