    I think it’s an argument for the inability of one nation within the EU to attack another one. Similarly to the euro zone.

    Imagine a French, German and Italian army with barracks all over Europe. Imagine then one of the three tried to coordinate an attack on another one. It would immediately deadlock. Operation would require unity, which in a defensive case, is easier to organize.

    There are probably arguments for both, integration and independence. I dunno…
