In September 2017 President Emmanuel Macron suggested a European Intervention Initiative (EI2) as part of his vision of a “sovereign, united and democratic Europe”1 . Some commentators labelled his proposal, which stands outside of existing structures (e.g. the European Union), as the launching of a European intervention force. In reality, EI2 is aimed at bringing able and willing European countries together to prepare themselves better for future crises – not by creating a new standby force but by ultimately creating a shared strategic culture. At the invitation of France, (ten) European countries2 have joined the initiative.
Ten…Ten…Ten…Ten…Ten… Got it? That’s TEN.
This is followed by an analysis of what constitutes a ‘strategic culture’. Based on that analysis the ten EI2 countries will be assessed according to several criteria related to their current national strategic cultures. The comparison is based on the national security and defence strategies of the EI2 countries
President Macron’s speech at the Sorbonne University in Paris in September 2017 marked the starting point of EI2.
Immediately after the Sorbonne speech many commentators interpreted EI2 as the creation of a new European intervention force. This is not the case. EI2’s ultimate aim is to develop a common strategic culture. In essence, it is about the enhancement of the ability of the participating European states to respond to future threats and crises so that, whenever necessary, European security interests can be better and faster protected within the chosen institutional frameworks. Developing common doctrine and further enhancing interoperability between the armed forces are important ways to realise this aim. The EI2 arrangement is supposed to be flexible, pragmatic and non-binding, and without prejudice to any particular institutional framework. EI2 can thus assist the institutional frameworks: the EU, NATO, the UN, and Coalitions of the Willing.

Daniel 2:44 King James Version
44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
One very very important thing to remember. THERE IS STILL NO MENTION OF RELIGION ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD TODAY IN REFERENCE TO GLOBAL WAR. NONE! THAT’S WHY THAT OTHER THRONE IS EMPTY.
This just in from Adrian. There are now 13 Countries. Anyone remember this scripture?
Daniel 7:20King James Version
20 And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.
The European Intervention Initiative (EI2) is a joint military project between 13 European countries outside of existing structures, such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the European Union‘s (EU) defence arm. EI2 is planned to operate a “light” permanent secretariat based on the network of military liaison officers with the French defence ministry.[1][2][3][4]
