Surprising that France seem to be going along with this idea of a German-led super-state, considering they were the most against a 'neutral' Germany in the decades after WW2.

Someone should tell the Germans that the last time they tried to 'spread their influence' across the European continent, it didn't go down too kindly with The Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Poland etc etc...they shouldn't really be trying to alienate large swathes of Europe again.
