The (UK) Sun is reporting that Germans aim to grab our nukes:
GERMAN defence chiefs want Europe to seize control of Britain’s nuclear weapons under breathtaking EU army plans.And even more hijinks:
The Sun can reveal the UK would be forced to share its arsenal with the Germans — who are banned from possessing their own nukes.
Documents circulating in Germany’s defence ministry will send a chill through the Pentagon as they expose how EU states want the new Euro army to rival Nato.
An eight-page dossier passed to The Sun states: “Another difficult and delicate area will have to be addressed. That is the transfer of national nuclear weapon capabilities of certain EU countries. They should also be integrated within the European defence system. This needs extensive consultation and the assistance of the non-nuclear states to decide what to do with those weapons.”
Last night shadow defence secretary Bernard Jenkin stormed: “Only British Prime Ministers should have their finger on the nuclear button.
“This paper proves what Tony Blair cannot admit — that people in Europe DO want an EU army which will threaten Nato.”
The devastating document calls for an entirely NEW EU defence department. MEPs would be HANDED the power to send UK troops into battle.Hitler didn't need the Wehrmacht to conquer Europe and Stalin didn't need the Red Army. They could have just sent in a herd of bureaucrats.
A new EU navy AND an elite commando unit are demanded. Meanwhile Britain and France risk losing their independent voice on the UN Security Council to a Brussels official.
An EU army staff COLLEGE to rival Nato’s would be built — in Germany. Britain’s defence firms would also be FORCED into working with EU rivals.

It adds: “A European army legitimised and financed by the European Parliament is the visionary goal of German policy.”
