Re: Future of the EU
Strat that is clearly rubbish. You have the French who quit NATOs millitary side and kicked them out of their country during the cold war. Ignore most of Eastern Europe as rotting ex-soviet kit with no spare parts ain't much good. If/when Turkey is a member you'll have all the fun of Turkey/Greece/Cyprus. The German airforce which can't fit any decent missiles to it's planes as then it would stop being 'defensive', France's history of co-operation on any joint defence project (only if they get all the work and none of the bills), EuroJeep which has been going for over 50 years! 50 years!
And that list glosses over such issues as the French trying to sell Exocet to Argentina during the Falklands and the recent 'disagreement' over Iraq.
Frankly I'm struggling to see much succesfull European co-operation apart from Tornado and MBDA.
