Defence cuts are precursor to future integration of EU military forces?

I have a sneaking suspicion that the considerable cuts now being forced onto the Military are as much about preparing for future integration of the Britain's defence structure into that of the EU as they are about simply saving money. The need to save money is a convenient excuse that enables long-term re-structuring to take place, but with what purpose?
David Cameron, Nick Clegg & Co are committed to the EU Project - that's why Cameron refused the Referendum that he promised. And the EU Project, as envisioned in the fraudulent Lisbon Treaty, requires that all Defence and Police forces become completely integrated. The plain fact is that if our forces are reduced to the anticipated 2020 levels two things become absolutely certain. One - we will be unable to act by ourselves in our own national interest (so goodbye to the Falkland Islands) and Two - we will be unable to resist complete integration in all other areas (so goodbye to border controls, control of immigration etc).
The time to leave the EU is now. If we wait much longer our ability to do so will have gone forever.

Anglo-French Defence Treaty, 2 November 2010

The Anglo-French Treaty signed on Tuesday 2 November is, I suppose, a necessary step in the current fiscal climate to enable both Britain and France to make short-term savings in government expenditure and enable us to maintain our defence posture. However, despite David Cameron's repeated use of the word 'sovereignty' in stressing the benefits of the agreement, no-one should be in any doubt that this agreement is also a significant step towards the creation of 'European' armed services.
The creation of a fully integrated European defence establishment is provided for in the Lisbon Treaty, as is also the integration of police forces, paramilitaries and the justice system.
This agreement to cooperate jointly in defence matters is a step beyond that which is necessary for the purposes of NATO. In my opinion it should be seen to be part of the movement towards an increasingly wholly-integrated United States of Europe, in which Britain will be totally subsumed into a collection of administrative Regions.
