With Britain out of the picture soon, Italy will become the third largest economy in the EU. We've already seen that France is agressively reasserting itself in the face of Germany with Britain's leave, but what about Italy? Will it step up to the plate as Britain's replacement in the "Big Three", or will we instead end up with a "Big Two"?

They won't amount to anything with their current government, or any future one for that matter. The Italian society is a dysfunctional one, and so is the Italian psyche--they are doomed to stay in the gutter.
i fucking wish
Regardless, the Netherlands will remain as the EU's fluffer, buffer and cumcatcher. Now bugger off, Pieter van Dijckhead.
Germany will reign supreme now. France can throw it’s weight around all it wants, it can’t compete with a country that has an additional 20 million in population.
France is the foremost European military power, of course it can throw its weight around.
Isn't that America still?
A fully militarised Germany would have zero peers in Europe except for Russia. France might have the strongest military in the EU right now but it won’t stay that way forever.
>Germany
>remilitarizing
Will never happen
>A fully militarised Germany
Except that's something that won't happen overnight. To even meet the NATO's 2% norm, Germany already stated to need at least 5 years. The population difference also shrinks radically if you exclusively look at fighting age men. Those pensioners aren't going to make a difference.
Never say never. The EU is great at inventing enemies in order to push the agenda that a strong and centralized EU is "needed". Think about "unreliable Trump" (even though he did a full 180 on wanting to abandon Nato), the "loss of Britain" (even though Franco-British military cooperation is guaranteed to remain unchanged, as is its membership of NATO) and "hostile Russia" (doesn't stop the Germans from sucking up all that natural gas despite Poland's protests though).
Well, both the Dutch military and Czech military are slowly uniting with the German one. And I believe Romania is planning to join as well. Which means they have a military backing of 130 million people.
That adds up pretty quickly.
Never’s a long time, as China rises and American dominance wanes, Europe will try to assert itself. Germany will be the champion of that.
In 1921, less than a century ago, Britain boasted of an empire that spanned 1/3 of the globe. No other empire in human history was as large or powerful. The common opinion of the time was that Africans would die from natural causes and Europeans would settle the continent. Funny how things work out.
>Well, both the Dutch military and Czech military are slowly uniting with the German one
Absolutely disgusting. Though on the flipside, that doesn't mean they're suddenly part of the German military. We see the same integration between the Netherlands and Belgium or indeed Germany and France.
>Which means they have a military backing of 130 million people.
Not denying it adds up, but again: only the fighting age male population counts. Pensioners and women are fucking useless.
Only money counts user.
Poland will be the largest european economy soon.
Money doesn't zoom soldiers into existance. Unless you mean paying Syrians to fight for Germany (which appears to be Mutti Multiculti's plan).
Enough money lets you hire the entire American military apparently.
this
See the gulf war.
That's effectively NATO though: "selling" your external sovereignity for the American army. Perhaps Germany should take a page from the book of Poland and pay Trump for more bases.
Dude we are exiting too.
Have fun in the next French-German war, we will not give a fuck, it will remain only wasteland there.
t. poorfag
>Dude we are exiting too
lol
Italy will be kicked out of the EU because it's too poor
>Dude we are exiting too
Lmao
Italy and France together will cuck G*rmany
Right now France and Germany cucked Italy for 20 years, and France was much worse for Italy than Germany.
With Salvinigger they sure as hell wont be relevant they're just gonna be slapped in the face like hungary and poolan by God Macron
> or indeed Germany and France.
Not really. We cooperate sure. But We are even sharing tanks and ships with the netherlands. Our cooperation goes much deeper.
>god macron
cuck
Why not the Big One?
I just cant help it
>closes the ports to a boat of tree huggers

What the fuck are you talking about? The only crisis i can think of is about Macron gay lover
>>the President loses all its prestige and consensus and starts showing himself with drag queen and hugs naked criminals
m8 no one cares
I’ve never understood why the French and Italians hate each other, is there any historical reason?
It's just banter between cousins
Italy and France will form an alliance against the Germans. It's always like this. I don't care about the wars. Italians and French will always be gay for each other
Macron is nothing, no one respects france, even nordics compined are more powerfull. More than half of the continent hates france and soon after germany gets their shit together you guys are all alone.
Bye
Cringe
france is really retarded, it could be the leader of a block of latin countries and cuck g*rmany forever but it prefers to be the paldog of germans
Yeah sure, our two countries have matching interests. This is why you voted for Salvini and Di Maio's parties while we elected Macron.
Real life isn't easy like Jow Forums memes, faggot.
>our two countries have matching interests.
unironically more than u have with g*rmany
A stronger EU is in our interests, so we must cooperate with Germany.
It's the FrancoGerman axis. Italy will diminish if it stays under the influence of that alliance.
we will ally with romania
The last time the french tried to cuck us it backfired horribly for them
Aren't they high on the EU coolaid atm?
I was talking about the euro
That we gave up our own currency was the condition the french gave us for supprting german unification
In what world?
Fuck George H.W. Bush for allowing Germany to reunite.
No
Ι bought a French Arturia synth.
