Now we discover that the new military alliance treaty, like the EU budget so-called battle, is nothing less than an abject surrender of British sovereignty under the sham guise of protecting it. For all the talk of a sovereign nation in charge of its own defence, we now learn that the new entente cordial involves a joint carrier force, British forces under French command, and other "shared" assets that are nothing short of abandoning Britain to the EU without a shot being fired.
So here we are with a Britain divided between one treasonous party of the far left that made war on its own people, another where the "conservative" leader says British virtues b'damned and wants his party to become part of the Left, and a third that is flat-out barking mad. What choice short of revolution have we left?
God help us.

1914- Flanders.
1940- Sedan and Dunkirk.
1956- Suez.
With all of the above as examples of why this isn't a good idea, I am forced to respectfully conclude that Mr. Cameron's "learning curve" is about as steep as Rogers Dry Lake.
Mr. Sarkozy seems reasonably intelligent, but if France runs true to form, he will shortly be replaced by another Mitterand', or Giscard de Estaing'. At which point, you're likely to see British troops hung out to dry in the name of "political correctness". Somalia, anyone?
I wouldn't even put British troops under joint command with U.S. troops at the present time. Not until we have a President who actually grasps the concept of "allies" and "enemies", at least.

Well, it's a question of priorities, innit? First priority is getting reelected. Best way to win votes is promising people free stuff. Free stuff needs to be paid for, so one finds ways to economize on less essential things. Like military spending. It's simple logic.
I fear that this will not end well. The overall result of course, is that Europe is weakening itself. This can only lead to someone from outside the EU coming and kicking it over, or someone inside deciding to arm and pull a Napoleon. Take your pick.

My money's on either the Islamists, or Putin. I call the odds six-five and pick 'em, as Tom Clancy used to say.
