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 confederation 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.
We could never have a North American Union. NAFTA was the first step and nationalists in the US and Mexico made it very clear they would commit violence if we dared so much as approach the EU model.

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.
