Before 2022/2014 I wasn’t quite sure why they think they need European armed forces, now it’s obvious why they need it. (Would be good if the EU stays a voluntary federation and not what the US is.)
I’ve always believed deeply that the European Union was a model for how we, as a species, have to evolve in order to reach that next step. Not in a Star Trek ideal of “one planet”, but at least in a “cooperation” that allows us to stop fighting each other.
Hell…I’m even a believer IN a North American version of the same thing. Just not in the way that Trump is wanting it and NOT with Trump anywhere near the decision making process. A North American federation on good terms with the EU federation would be great as long as adults were in charge and sovereignty was respected rather an a man-child shouting out bullshit all the time.

Two front hybrid warfare is not good for the EU.

Yes. As much as the EU has done a good job in many ways, I’d much prefer it stay a confederation than a federation.
