France and Germany are divided on what to do in the event of a Brexit. But common EU security is an area of agreement.

Even within the German coalition government, parties are not singing from the same hymnbook on what to do in the case of a Brexit, as some feel there should be a return of powers from Brussels to individual nations.

“Germany does not have a plan to follow because the government is divided on its post-Brexit strategy,” said conservative daily Die Welt.

Consequently, several sources believe that the EU partners would turn their attention to issues where there is greater consensus, such as security and defense. […]

Areas of work in progress include common missions abroad, progress in the sharing of production and military equipment purchase, as well as the creation of a real EU border police force. …

I saw the husband of the late MP Jo Cox being interviewed on the BBC.

At one point in the interview, he started talking about the coarseness of politics and society, “whether it’s Trump in the U.S....”

I didn’t hear the rest of what he said; I was too busy swearing at the TV.

Britain is staying put. This reminds me off the tidal wave to unshackle Scotland....that evaporated.

I think the light is beginning to dawn on them that they now need a military, if for no other reason, than to prevent other nations from leaving as well.

The Brits have the closest thing to a functional military in all the EU.

We saw the EU’s full inability to project military power in its pathetic attempt at Libya.
