Which is elected by their own members

Jordan have a good special force program, their regular army is meh tier though

The reason for it is the culture within the arab armies

In western armies you are as good as the knowledge you can share

For u

So its in your interest to train others and to spread your knowledge around as much as possible

The current king of jordan love the west and is more open for reforms. He did a cameo on star trek Voyager

I cite

Finally, once invested, the Commission as a whole can be removed by a two-thirds ‘censure vote’ in the European Parliament. This has never happened before, but in 1999 the Santer Commission resigned before a censure vote was due to be taken which they were likely to lose. So, yes, the Commission is not directly elected. But it is not strictly true to say that it is ‘unelected’ or unaccountable.

@zutt I have been following the EU from behind the inside the US Army.

What’s your take on them?

In arab armies there is no benefit to sharing information. Their country is most likely run by a dictator or a corrupt bureaucracy.

as i said you have serious misconceptions about eu

There is lots to criticise for sure

There is no benefit to sharing knowledge because so long as you are the only person with that knowledge you are important and irreplaceable

But its not as devilish as you ppl make it

`Their country is most likely run by a dictator or a corrupt bureaucracy.`
Regardless, outside of the arab world a few countries run by corrupt bureaucracies do know how to build a functioning army

If you share that information with others than you have a higher chance of being fired. then someone more loyal or with family ties will take your place

For some reason, the big arab powers just can't do it

If the members of the EU's governance were held accountable directly to the people that would be a different beast.

I wonder what your source is going to say, it sure is a mystery

Just read it lel

I have, when it was attached as an Open Source addendum to the briefing for my CG before going to meet with European Leaders.

What do you guys think?

Will a blog called the European Politics and Policy Blog say that the EU is run by unelected bureaucrats?

This really is a dozy

I have no faith in the EU, and that is based on it's actions not on pro and negative propaganda about it.

Let me amend that, I have faith that the EU will act in it's interests and not in the interest of the European people.

The problem in Britain, though, is that this new way of ‘electing’ the Commission President did not feel very democratic. None of the main British parties are in the EPP (the Conservatives left the EPP in 2009), and so British voters were not able to vote for Juncker (although they could vote against him).

Interesting system

being unable to vote for someone, but being able to vote against them

The fact that the members of the German Parliment are elected by the German Citizenry, means that they have to have the people intrests in mind since that is the standard on if they get re-elected or not.

Black what ? Commision is appointed
