One thing I remember from the Brexit "debate" was that many viewed the prospect of the EU having an army as a terrible thing that couldn't be allowed.

"It's the Germans wanting to re-militarize under a different flag"

Fast-forward 6 years and Russia invaded Ukraine and the mood has certainly shifted on that one.

"Come on Germany. Get those factories going."
