It's funny that now that the EU has come clean about forming the EU Army they haven't published how the army will be created, how it operates and what effect it will have on the younger voters who opted to remain in the EU.

I think the forming of the EU Army is potentially dangerous. Let's imagine a scenario. Russia threatens Ukraine. Ukraine appeals to the EU for help. The EU responds by placing EU army troops on the ground in Ukraine to forestall a Russian invasion.Russia feels threatened. What happens next? It could be that a major conflict arises. EU Leaders are asked to supply troops.If the UK does that the UK itself becomes a potential target for aggression. We have already had several air and sea incursions into UK airspace and UK waters.

Might be helpful if the EU clarified how the army would be created and operated and how it will effect those elegible for recruitment.
