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.
God knows how a EU Army would work, assuming an none NATO member of the EU army is invaded, then a nato member of the EU army is involved. Is NATO then obligated to join in? So then it's our problem if we're in the EU or not. I don't think a EU Army and NATO can exisit.
