Whilst I understand your reasoning here, I never really understood why having an EU army was such a big deal in the referendum debate.It would increase it and let’s say for a second, we had a European army and we said they could go into Ukraine to defend, it would be made up of troops from nuclear armed countries who will never give them up so we are right back to square one in this instance.
I’m not saying it will never happen but we don’t need that and NATO.

Still don’t, to be honest.
Thanks. Kind of what I thought and still don’t think it’s that big a deal either way.Purely because we essentially already have it in NATO with the addition of the US.
It’s either or but if it’s or, my guess is we would then probably lose the US and that makes it seriously weaker against an ever growing threat from the East.
Nuclear countries like ourselves and France would never put our nukes under someone else’s control either imo.
He isn’t wrong and I sadly and wrongly in hindsight voted to leave.
But we have taken back control - of our own impotence
one for all those patriots who refuse to believe that the Lave vote was manipulated by Putin here the stooge in chief Fuhrage backs his idols motive
I seem to recall a woman phoning the James O’Brien show saying that she was going to vote leave purely on the grounds that we were going to be forced into an EU army, and that there would be conscription and she didn’t want her son to be forced to join.Whilst I understand your reasoning here, I never really understood why having an EU army was such a big deal in the referendum debate.

The kind of lies and stupidity that can easily be fact-checked, which was just accepted as a valid reason to f*ck the country up.
Surely joining an EU army would lessen the chances of conscription given that there would be a defined number of soldiers needed taken from a large pool of EU nations…I seem to recall a woman phoning the James O’Brien show saying that she was going to vote leave purely on the grounds that we were going to be forced into an EU army, and that there would be conscription and she didn’t want her son to be forced to join.

This is an example of why throwing baseless shite around works.
Ukraine only has 45m people though. We’ve nearly 70m. There’s no way Putin could disregard such an influential, big country on the world map.but they weren't thinck and they knew what they were voting for..............
This afternoon 27 EU states are holding a meeting to decide what to do about Ukraine - we aren't there because we successfully uninvited ourselves - biggest Brexit win I have seen so far tbh

We can’t invoke proper sanctions against Russia as our politicians have too many Russians as friends and donors.
We can threaten though.
With bluster.
We do have our trump card.There are more of us but we have a smaller armed force to call upon.....ahem....... we are back to hoping the Channel is sufficient a barrier were it to come to that. That btw is the barrier that we cannot stop migrants crossing in dinghies
Bojo has plenty of that...Ukraine only has 45m people though. We’ve nearly 70m. There’s no way Putin could disregard such an influential, big country on the world map.
