Eurocrats eye 'EU army' that could activate up to 5,000 troops without full support of member states

• EU foreign policy chief said soldiers may be sent into war zones without backing
• Josep Borrell believes smaller groups of countries should take action
• Britain opposed any plan during its membership as it would undermine Nato

now who would have thought it?

But in a move likely to spark a backlash today, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said soldiers could be sent into war zones without the backing of all member states, potentially breaching the bloc’s own founding treaty.

Mr Borrell said smaller groups of countries could choose to take action because ‘we cannot decide by unanimity every step of the process’.

He said he was not asking to abolish the unanimity rule but added: ‘What I believe is that this institutional setting can be “flexibilised” in order to act quicker and better.’

The plan would give EU members the power to ‘enable willing and capable European-led coalitions’.

Brexit has opened up the possibility of Brussels creating an EU army.

Knew it would be Brexit's fault...

A good story to deflect everyone from high energy prices, shortages and sinking standard of living.

What if the situation at the Polish Belarussian border situation gets out of control and Poland triggers NATO article 5 would Britain send in troops to basically defend the EU?

It won't be the first time will it?

Sadly (because no one needs the blood shed) we will have to, but I expect Vlad is more likely to want to take the EU out first. Like Hitler I suspect he will make us an offer we should refuse to divide & conquer.

Luckily a core of the French will be able to surrender and serve coffee! I expect the Dutch to supply the cakes as usual.

I expect the Dutch to hand over any refugees to the enemy and their certain death as usual.
