We all know Britain is but a shadow of it's former glory and the same can be said for the other Western European former Colonial powers.

China and India could well be the states of the future, Russia has always been a behemoth of a nation and the United States will always look out for their own interests.

Is it time that European Union member states pool together their resources and make a United European military or would it just end up being a poor parody of NATO?

Would it save money if we shared nuclear weapons! technology and man power across the board in Europe and also stop nations like the U.K and France going off and doing their own things in Mali/ Afghanistan etc?

Would the language barrier be too problematic? Or the delegation of power? Would a citizen levy per country be the answer? Do we all actually need to keep our own military's considering the feudal Europe of the past is long since past us?
