The idea of an EU army would aim to enhance the Union’s autonomy in defense matters and reduce reliance on external entities like NATO. This could strengthen the EU’s global standing but raises questions about sovereignty and the role of existing national armies.

No, but we should increase military co-operation between member states
@9ZT6X8T2mos2MO
Yes, unforturnately Europe cannot rely on the US in the wake of the Trump re-election and must protect their own citizens from Russian and other aggression.
@9ZG8PZL2mos2MO
No but have increased collaboration between nations.
@9ZN2LCY2mos2MO
No but we should be acting collectively in our stance against aggression should a country in the EU be invaded
@9ZMM8LL2mos2MO
Yes, however member states who are neutral and a have defence only army should not be obliged to join but should enjoy the protection of the greater EU army should it be required in a time of crisis
@9ZJ4RLC2mos2MO
Not an independent army but the armies of countries in the EU should train together to some degree to keep each other at the top of their game
@9ZH2W7G2mos2MO
EU should fund strengthening of NATO away from US dependency
@9ZGSPPY2mos2MO
The EU could strengthen its defense with its own army, but it might create divisions within NATO and duplicate efforts. A better approach could be closer defense cooperation within NATO.
