They might as well knock down the column in Trafalgar Square:
Britain and France will launch a broad defense partnership on Tuesday that includes setting up a joint force and sharing equipment and nuclear missile research centers, a French government source said. Treaties to be signed by French President Nicolas Sarkozy and British Prime Minister David Cameron at a meeting in London will pave the way for an unprecedented degree of military cooperation between the two neighbors.
Theoretically, this should be a great sign of peace and progress. Why, then, does it feel so… alarming?
