If the USA effectively withdraws from NATO, aren't we left with a European Army?
ERR no ... we aren't in Europe ... we withdrew in 2016

Canada isn’t in Europe.
I'm sure if we have Nepalese in the European army we could have some Canadians.Canada isn’t in Europe.

We are in Europe ;)
But that would mean that we would have to co operate with the Eu
Standardised ammunition & weapons , maybe a ''common'' uniform , obeying orders from '' foreigners'' ... the fear of a joint European Army was cited as one of the main reasons we voted for Brexit (despite the fact we held a veto )
The great unwashed won't go for it (they're too busy pointing at boats )

I don’t think the ‘great unwashed’ are going to have very much choice in the matter. We are at war with Russia and it’s not going to go away just by people wishing it so.But that would mean that we would have to co operate with the Eu

I was referring to the UK being part of continental Europe. Pedantic? A little :)
I would have no qualms with a defence pact akin to NATO but suspect we will end up with close to that anyway (would love Japan, Canada, Australia, NZ and other like minded countries to be involved as well). The problem I would see with an EU army is the ability of veto would be high on the list - imagine the chances of Hungry approving a European army to go to war with Russia would be 0!!!
That's what I meant! Without the USA in NATO that's the defence pact we're left with.I was referring to the UK being part of continental Europe. Pedantic? A little :)

Hungary under Orban is a problem. Hungarian Army officers praise being in NATO but I guess other NATO countries may be watching what information they share with Hungary (and with the Pentagon under Leaky Pete).

He does love a vodka, it's all falling into place.I'm not having that mate. Talking like that anyone might think he had friends with connections to Russia. That can't be right. Can it?
