Ha, the unelected buffoons wanted and still want a European Armed Force controlled by them. The UK has the best armed forces personnel and serious amounts of sophisticated weaponry, all round much bigger and better than the ramshackle forces of the other member countries. So it was planned to at least begin a European Armed Force by putting the UK Armed Forces under the command of the EU's unelected buffoons. Well, as much as the unelected buffoons wanted it, the matter was at the earliest possible stage treated with utter derision and contempt by the UK government.
Anyway, the UK is now well out and the EU has no funds for such expenditure. In the aftermath of coronavirus even Germany will barely have a pot to piss in, so such ambitious schemes are no more likely to happen than the marriage of Martina Navratilova to Graham Norton.
