We have often had some of our nukes stationed in Germany, Italy, and Turkey which have been at the disposal of NATO. But they are still our nukes.

Frankly, I think the EU needs a unified armed forces.... solely because Russia is so much against it and has been acting like asshats during the past decade.

I just wonder if supporting an EU Army in order to spite Russia is a bit like Australia introducing the myna bird to control locust plagues... only to then find themselves with a massive myna bird problem, which forces native birds out of their nests and spreads diseases.
