#3 Rantburg called it back before the vote, 'If Brexit succeeds, watch the EU form an army'.

Need that Poland/Czech/Slovakia/Hungary pact to get going because, and I'm not sure I need my foil chapeau here or not, EU troops seizing major airports to make sure these countries take their properly dictated quota off rapefugees.

#4 Germany provides troop training, France runs the mechanized units and meal service, the Spanish in charge of scheduling and logistics, all while organized by the Italians...while answering to Brussels...or Strasbourg, depending on the month.

#7 ...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA NO.

The EU no longer has the willpower to do this, nor will they spend the money for the state-of-the-art weaponry and gear they will need. And it's REALLY unlikely they'll buy enough transports to go anywhere. This is, to use the current phrase, a nothingburger.
