When Europe goes to war with Russia, they will not require the military to fill out customs declarations as they cross borders within the EU.
Tanks, missiles, artillery and most combat weapons could be exempt from EU customs declarations if the plan by Brussels moves forward.
Additionally, under the proposal most drivers of military equipment may even be permitted to exceed the limits on driving times and rest periods, should the fight against Russia require extended physical effort.
The newly proposed objective is to empower European soldiers to make independent decisions without having to fill out the customary paperwork, requiring prior approval from the European Commission before affixing their bayonets. The EU wants to work out the details before they begin military operations against the Russian Federation.
EUROPE – […] The communication notes that some countries require 45 days of advance notice before allowing military equipment to cross their territory. “Significant barriers to effective military mobility in the EU persist,” the communication notes. “National rules are often divergent, fragmented and non-harmonised.”
[…] “We need to move fast. We need to move faster than what Europe is used to or is expecting to,” Tzitzikostas said, saying the target is to get the basics in place by 2030.
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius warned over the weekend that Russia may be capable of launching an attack on a NATO member state as early as 2028-2029.
If approved, EMERS would also grant derogations from standard customs and transport rules, including limits on driving times and rest periods for civilian operators, as well as faster, dedicated customs procedures under a specific EU protocol.
[…] To ensure coordination on the ground, each member state will appoint a national coordinator for military transport, serving as a single contact point for permissions, notifications and crisis response. (read more)
I would not be too concerned about the capabilities of Europe to confront Russian troops. It appears there are now multiple discussions within the EU proposing to stop tracking carbon footprints for soldiers during those times of the day when maximum energy expenditure would be needed.
The French and German military leadership are against lifting the climate rules; however, the pressure from the U.S. within NATO appears to be shifting the overall sentiment.
While negotiations are still underway about permitting the burning of fossil fuels for meal preparation in the field, thankfully there are military consultants beginning to convince Brussels leadership that soldiers making coffee in forward operating positions should be permitted regardless of emissions.

Why is this reading like a script to an epic trying to win more awards than Les Miserables ?
the movie “1917” on steroids
If we let them stampede us AGAIN like the white human cattle our ancestors were and that we arguably may still be, then we will be destroyed. Starmer and Macron both tried to send their ethnically European armies against Russia, where they would have been COMPLETELY destroyed, while both countries are teetering on the edge of an internal war against Islam.
The senior military establishment refused to go along in both countries. I’m not surprised at the French (many of whom have known that war against Islam is inevitable for some time), but I am surprised that any British generals have a shred of loyalty to their people or IQ’s above room temperature. You can be sure that the skaven in the the square mile of the City of London are busily working towards replacing British generals with more compliant slave creatures (like we are cursed with here in America).
NO MORE BROTHER WARS for the profit and entertainment of transnational tribalists.
How many times has Europe invaded Russia and failed?
Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
well, this will be the first time that they also have hypersonics and nukes.
so there’s that.
Yep, there is that.
Speaking of expectations, I have been visiting this site every day for years now hoping for some glimmer of hope or tidbit of good news. How insane is that?
Ah, there are rays of sunshine and hopium every now and then! /s
Wait until the new “immigrants” start getting conscripted.
One of the classic blunders. Never enter into a land war in Asia.
Simple.
I had to check to make sure I wasn’t reading The Babylon Bee
That amazing “You can’t make this up” reality. As genius as Babylon is, could they imagine this?
Yeah, these Euroweenies are really something to behold their hubris. We shall see.
Anyone know why Sweden, a full member of NATO, is a different blue on the map?
The map was probably done by AI.
That map was made when Sweden’s full membership was pending.
Full map –
I’m laughing but it’s not too funny how crazy those European leaders are . The sarcasm is hilarious but it’s probably all true!
Please tell me this is a joke!
The only thing missing were work rules for the soldiers. No more than 8 hours a day, and triple time for night and weekend work, and no forcing soldiers to work more than 40 hours if they don’t want to.
Don’t forget the month of August off for holiday.
Europe deserves to get punched in the face.
Russians…. been forced conquer/ enter Berlin 4 times since 1760…they will do it again if they have to…words of member of RUSSIAN DUMA…
but putin has disappointed us!
smugglers rejoicing and chortling!!
These people are nutz.
On the one hand, it’s comical. On the other, it’s very dangerous. Because it means that Europe has simply forgotten what “World War” is like. They have forgotten what it cost them. It has become a “War Game.”
Notice, however, that Russia celebrates a somber “Victory Day” every year, so that its countrymen will never forget what it meant to pay by far the highest price in blood during the “Great Patriotic War.” Even Putin carries a black-and-white family photograph, as “the Ghost Regiment” marches once more. Everybody has one, or more than one.
They should also remember that Russia is perfectly capable of “attacking NATO” today, and that if she did so it would not be pretty. Russia never “de-industrialized.” Never stopped developing weapons systems. Has the capability to produce and deliver them in the quantity that would be required. Never stopped training. Preparing.
If EU/NATO were to become as foolish as they now appear to be becoming, Russia could defend her homeland against any aggressor in ways they have not dreamed of. And, as every time before, “Russia would not lose.”
“Don’t Poke The Bear.™”
Great points. The Europeans who suffered the destruction of Europe have died off so there’s no memory of WWll. And history is no longer taught.
the inbred queen victoria progeny of the last century is mostly gone, however, the remnant in the uk, aka charlesiii and wills are still hanging on, and their mental capacities combined are in the cretin range,,,and no, I don’t capitalize unimportance
Russia does not forget her history.
Europe has to be taught over and over and over…and they still never learn.
Their Gaia worshipping leaders wear their desperation like a shroud, visible to all except themselves.
There is probably no national celebration more important to that country than the annual procession of somberly remembered photographs. As well it should be everywhere. You are not forgotten, and you did not die in vain.
WAR. IS. HELL. Not “a product.” No one “wins.” Ever.
Sacrifice must be honoured and remembered, Mike, yes.
And history diligently taught to every generation living their lives secured by that sacrifice.
Totally dysfunctional nut jobs. Gonna get their asses kicked by Russia.
It’s about using an EU military to occupy dissident member states. Hungary will be the first victim of EU military intervention.
yup this actually crossed my mind as well. they will not have the cajones to drive directly into russia (nor even ukraine) but they WILL go after their own.
one wonders why Orban is still in that “union” in the same way i wonder about our own states of the former republic.
I have wondered why Orban is not making a move to leave.
Aha! I think you may have hit on it.
As far as I’m concerned i hope Russia wipes Europe off the map!
But keep the beautiful historical architecture intact, please!
I wouldn’t go as far as rooting for Europe’s loss, but I think the US needs to protect itself from Europe’s suicidal tendencies.
I pity the EU when they wake up and realize they are surrounded by reality rather than Climate Change or Russia….
Europe’s only contribution to mankind is starting worldwide wars.
This war will just be fought by ethnic Europeans. In my opinion it is just more ethnic cleansing of Europeans. The EU will be middle eastern Muslims within 5 years and America will be in the same shape in 10 to 15 years. Their leaders as well as ours are just pure evil.
the immigrants will stay home to “warm” the wives and children while the men march off to die.
Good luck finding some EU soldiers willing to die for these scum in charge.
what are they going to do? vote for the other party?
Wait… what??? No Dress Code….
……. or the use of preferred pronouns.
A dainty, politically correct war!?! The pay must be exceptionally good for any worthwhile warrior to even consider taking part in this farce.
We’ve got to get out of NATO. Now.
😆😆😆. Overheard discussion: Blue Helmet 1: “oh no, I have 6 bullets in my gun, when I’m only allowed 5. What should I do?”
Blue Helmet 2: “Just shoot yourself in the foot.”
Blue Helmet 1: “I knew I could count on you; so glad we’ve been paired up as war buddies. You still have my text letter saved in your phone if something should happen to me, right?”
Blue Helmet 2: “You betcha.”
Time for a Weird Al version of the Temptations song “War”.
Green war, what is it good for……..
Absolutely nothing
I’m almost certain the EU couldn’t successfully invade and hold Andorra, let alone Russia. On the other hand, I AM a cynic.
If only Poland had required a permit and forty-five days before being invaded in 1939…
And sad irony, if NATO puts all their efforts into the non-member Ukraine front, going through Poland to Brussels via Berlin may be the best course of action for Russia.
There is 1-set of major provisions missing from the EU plans …. nearly ALL of the Western EU Member Military’s are UNIONIZED.
So … do Union Rules get waived as well.
The Unionized forces I know of … Holland, Belgium, France and Germany … and possibly Italy, Norway, Denmark and Sweden.
I recall from my days in the 12th Cavalry in Germany … there were Unionized Dutch Units that voted NOT to deploy for a REFORGER Exercise. There had also been Unionized Belgian Units that refused assignments. In the 1980’s NATO had to actually scramble to redo war plans because of Unionized Military unit demands.
what a world… a UNIONIZED mil…
i am sure this will work out well for europe.
No war until the unions negotiate terms for overtime and hazard pay.
🤦♀️
The Russians will make mince meat of them all! Actually, the European Union might ban using artillery, firearms of all sorts, and aircraft due to their environmental impact. Crossbows, javelins, broadswords, and battle axes should suit them well! But NO horse cavalry charges: the manure and the horses’ gas emissions would prove too damaging.
The Russians have evolved into a capable force for sure … BUT ….Russia does not have the enough force (except possibly exchanging very damaging drone and cruise missile strikes) nor logistical ability to do much vs the EU … they are not the massive force of pre-1990.
Any prolonged exchange of Drones and cruise missiles would end badly for Russia.
The EU Government and it’s members are using the Russians as a boogie man to justify their actions to extend control over their people living in the EU.
Oh, I would never say THAT about them …!
There’s never been a better time to exit NATO, taking all our dollars with us.
“German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius warned over the weekend that Russia may be capable of launching an attack on a NATO member state as early as 2028-2029″
Russia is capable now, and has shown incredible restraint since the neoclowns started this back in 2014.
I’ve got to wonder if the European citizens have heard about any of these plans? This coming after the immigration debacle and climate hoax leads me to believe a World-class ass-whooping is about to occur in Europe and it WON’T be a NATO or EU thing!
The citizens of the EU are not on-board.
That is the reason for crating the Russian Boogie Man … to “scare” the people into accepting the draconian measures the EU will be putting into place that are not meant to combat the Russians but control the citizens of the EU.
Excellent point. War footing for spying on citizens. I think you have hit the nail on the head.
The citizens and can sit back and relax. The patriotism of the new “immigrants” from the Middle East and Africa will have them rushing to the recruiting offices.
All rations to EU citizens being downloaded on their REQUIRED digital ID
Just go ahead, EU Nazi leaders, and hand out the stars you want your citizens to sew on their clothing…Muslims excluded of course.
Dear God, please, I pray, wake the EU citizens up before the point of no return. Amen.
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they attack at midnight… on bicycles! What maroons!
Clowns. Honestly, we should pull out of NATO. The US gets nothing out of it, yet we pay for most of it. We should leave the EU to its own folly.
Hmmm…If a large part of the EU has already been overtaken by and is openly controlled by Islam maybe this is what their caliphate looks like? Infiltrate, consume, conquer…🤔
I still cannot envision Parisians putting down their cigarettes and dainty coffee cups to pick up a rifle.
a couple false flags and conscription are a helluva drug. and once you’re gone to the front, the “diversity” will be their strength back home.
Expect another early surrender.
THEY ARE BETTING ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BEING IGNORANT ENOUGH TO BAIL THEM OUT AGAIN, BUT, THAT THE U.S, RUSSIA AND CHINA WILL HURT EACH OTHER SO BAD THAT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO WATCH AND PICK UP THE PIECES AND DECLARE THEMSELVES IN CHARGE.
Let them take on the Russian bear! Have the fools learned nothing from their sordid and deplorable history?
Guess they’ll have to use ‘earth-friendly’bombs And mostly peaceful ammo too….
And those EV tanks Sec. Energy Granholm was advocating.
We have always been at war wth Easr Asia.
These are not serious people. But it does display a ridiculous level of bureaucratic hubris.
the bureaucratic hubris will be when mein fuhrer von der leyen mandates that their pregnant men must be capable of getting into a tank.
Promethean Action Midweek update.
Watch this video, Trump is winning.

Russia Backs Trump as BBC Scandal Rocks Britain
It seems to me that Europeans, or at least their inbred leadership, cannot stand not having a war. They are willing to risk the Bear unleashing its ultimate claw in order to satisfy some sadomasochistic need to destroy the lives of ordinary people. All the elites that line up behind this should be on the front lines or at ground zero to be the first to receive a dose of reality, and a permanent fix towards eliminating stupid people.
Oh dear! This MUST be serious if the EU is willing to wave Green 2030 rules and even permit the burning of fossil fuels during a war! They may even permit combatants to use non-recycled toilet paper in certain combat conditions. If war turns out to negatively affect the environment, will that be considered a war crime??!!
Should Brussel require all immigrants 18 and older to go fight for Europe and those nice entitlement payments?
Brussels will be sure to leave them back home where they can tear down churches and abuse the wives and children. because diversity is their strength.
When they demand you and your sons into mandatory military service, maybe things will change.
Why would Russia invade the EU?
To take over all the debts of the EU countries, to pay welfare to all the illegal immigrants?
To try and suppress all the crime that the illegal immigrants have brought to the EU?
Maybe to pay the USA 750 billion for LNG for the next ten years? Maybe to acquire new undamaged versions of EU military equipment, since at this point they only have the destroyed equipment that’s gone to Ukraine since 2014.
Maybe it’s to participate in all the corruption that the EU carries on with Ukraine.
Maybe to acquire all the woke, globalist, trans, gay culture that Russia doesn’t have? I think the EU is on its own.
Russia does not need a millstone around its neck.
“Leave The Bear alone, and nobody gets hurt.” They’re not coming after you. Don’t be stupid and go after them.
But remember, within days(!) of “VE Day,” Winston Churchill wanted to do exactly that. He called it “Operation Unthinkable.” Fortunately, wiser heads prevailed … THEN. Churchill was thrown out of office.
Just….
Speechless.
“The French and German military leadership are against lifting the climate rules; however, the pressure from the U.S. within NATO appears to be shifting the overall sentiment.”
WTH!?
I would expect to read that the US military will not participate in this insanity under any circumstances. This reads like we are actually indulging this fantasy!!!
“Immigrants in the EU are generally not subject to military service obligations unless they acquire citizenship in a country that has mandatory conscription. Each EU country has its own rules regarding military service, and many do not require non-citizens to serve” -ChatGPT.
Of course the anti-Christ globalists in Brussels who are running the EU will send the flower of their nation’s native-born youth into the trenches against Russians while exempting the mass immigrant populations presently destroying Europe’s social safety nets and societies from military service.
The historical photo and video footage reveal how bad things have deteriorated in these places compared to how it once was, but I imagine when most of the young native-born males have been relocated away from their respective countries the remaining population in the affected areas may find themselves living in what amounts to a new GTA video game release titled “GTA VII: Eurocrats.”
Has anyone fought more wars and learned less than Europe?
No, that’s worded wrong.
Has anyone fought more wars and learned the wrong things than Europe?
There must be something in Socialist genes that always circles back to “…but this time we’re gonna do it the right way.”
Insanity.
MSU or EU… MSU “making sh!t up” as you go.
Put the basics in place by 2030 they say??
Hee haw. PDJT gets Russia on the peace train and begins new trade, exploration, bridge/s from Alaska to Russia completed AND long term security pact in place between US/RUS before the EU can blink. Just saying…
