Brig finds a press report 23 years old.
Shock news!
I'd say it's pretty relevant that someone has pointed out that an EU army was mooted as far back as 23 years ago when your learned cohorts are claiming that an EU army was only thought of recently to protect us all from The Donald. You boys really do need very little help in being made to look stupid do you?
If I remember correctly, It was because of the US (Trump and his anti-Europe rhetoric in particular) that the idea of a European protective force was mentioned.
