It is well known that the EU will always try and seek a diplomatic approach to everything before considering committing men on the ground.
My question to all our EU posters at point could something be so egregious that the EU would consider immediate military action that does not involve an invasion of your home countries? Violation of Geneva Conventions? Genocide? Ugly dictator with the massive revenge complex against the EU?
I am genuinely curious what line would need to be crossed before we'd see a solid military commitment.
Don't get me wrong I commend the EU's more intellectual approach to most things and here in the States we could do a lot less shooting from the hip. But at the same time sometimes military intervention is the only thing that actually gets anything done. There is only so much harsh language and trade embargos can do.

At what point would the EU consider taking military action

Doesn't take much for the Brits to move their arses, I was very shocked we are sitting out Syria, then again we had more troops in Afghanistan than the rest of Europe combined and we need a rest.

I was hoping for something more specific. We talking drone attacks of another country? Troops occupying a little used piece of land? Firing missiles at a city? People taken hostage and executed? Originally Posted by Heathy

These things all still fall under a civil war, its really not anyones place to join in for any perceived good, I'm personally torn on the subject, do i think we should send in military aid to protect unarmed civis, yes i do, do i think we should send in military aid to overthrow the tyrannical government, no i don't, the ppl need to do that themselves.

That is an interesting response. How do you protect the innocent exactly without overthrowing the bully? Train them how to fight back? Arm them? Originally Posted by Heathy

Keep in mind I am not limiting this to just the Syrian civil war but to anything that happens in the world.

For what its worth, the UK will always be a much better ally and friend of America than France will ever be. Originally Posted by RICH8472

The French government is cowardly as usual and would not make a good ally.

I would have sent her some home made macaroni necklaces, or painted some 40k figurines for her, at least that's more personalized. Originally Posted by RICH8472
