nevertheless like I said to you many times already. I’m all for NATO and the minimum of spending 2 percent. But all your arguments against an EU Army are actually arguments in favour of one.
As I have said from the start, if the EU wants an army club, I have no issues with that.
However, I do have issues with kids from Dorset or Michigan, Brisbane or Alberta dying in the defence of Europe when it all goes wrong. So, if you really want your army club, it needs to be an 'instead of' NATO rather than some halfway house where you squander billions on homemade hardware selected for the country of manufacture and then run to the US, UK and Commonwealth when it turns to sh1t. I don't think that's an unfair ask?
