I still remember the EU armored trucks rolling into Paris during the Yellow Vest protests when Antifa and the Nationalist Socialists were out on the streets at the same time.

The EU doesn't give a fuck if you burn their flag, they give a lot of fucks whether or not they get to create an "emergency response" capability to directly suppress citizen dissidents attempting to escape smiley face anarchotyranny.

I have to wonder how the EU army initiative is doing.
