HH:-
To start with it'll be like a UN force but ever so gradually the weaker countries will become dependent on it (and won't be able to afford modern kit) paying a proportion of the cost. It's a logical extension of the NATO aircraft sharing type arrangement
Yer avin a larf, aintcher? Any army that is modelled on UN multi national "peacekeeping" is one for all to fear, good or bad! The continual use of NATO as justification for this disparate melange, that will no doubt be swiftly outfitted in some Ruritanian confection to impress as it parades down the Champs Elysees or the Unter den Linden, is as irritating as suggesting a Rolex is no different from a cheap Changi watch. Such imitation is definitely not flattery!
