   Only Baltic states, Poland and Finland, Sweden are aware that coexistence with Russia is no longer possible and after Ukraine we are going to be the next target. I really doubt that Europe is able to unite entirely against Russia when they are still voices from the west which try to reintroduce ridiculous ideas from the previous world before the war. Also many Europeans are blind for the fact how Russia seriously pose a danger for our existence. I would rather avoid the situation when society would become more aware after the fact.

   It's time to stop talking about it and do it. Eu is heading to federation anyway and we need our own army and not just to hope for a good luck.

   what I want answered is simple; Who can block such an Eu army deployment. who has final say on where an EU army base can be built.. Just for an example; could the EU order an EU army base built in French overseas territories in the pacific Oceans, even if French politicians and local islanders was against it, but a majority of the EU wanted such a base built.

    A united and strong European military that shares intelligence, resources and consistently trains together is something that theoretically should be popular on both sides of the political spectrum.
    This is a positive step toward the EU securing its future as a major wold superpower.
    A larger, more unified Europe is more resilient toward foreign threats and pressure from the likes of China and the US and more capable of realising its own interests.

    so in other words, the "far right" that claimed as far back as 2010 that "The EU want a single world army, called the EU army" were actually right?

    Thats what, 10 conspiracy theories from the "far right" proven true. Lets go!!!!!

    Slovenija was never part of the eastern block. Slovenija was part of Yugoslavija . And Yugoslavija was a member of the Non-Aligned Movement, not the Waršau pakt(eastern block as you say).

    5:27 Why would the EU need a guarantee against a Trump presidency?

    If it's about Trump's strong stance against delinquent NATO members, then how is an EU army supposed to help? EU countries which are delinquent in NATO are just going to be delinquent in the EU army, and America will not be there to make up the difference. NATO seems fine to me. All Europe needs to do is fulfill its NATO obligations and stop sponging off of America. America wants Europe to be a partner; Europe seems to want to be an American protectorate. This needs to change.

    I don't think they've thought this through at all.

    Because America is making it abundantly clear that if Russia does go for NATO Nations it will help Shirley but it's not going to send troops buttons of tanks and weapons and drones and all types of s*** and trainers that's what we're going to do it's smart for the EU to have its own military

    We have NATO we do not need a European army. The concept of a European army is being pushed by federalists who see it as a key element of a United States of Europe one political system ruled by the EU. NATO is more then able to defend Europe especially with new members like Finland and Sweden soon.

    I don't even see Hungary as the biggest obstacle here, but rather Austria, because of our State Treaty and our obligation for perpetual neutrality from any military block. That thing is a holy cow in Austria's political circles, as well as the general populace.

    So in my opinion if an EU army would ever be created, it would be probably without any Austrian participation, I am afraid. Many people in Austria have become too comfortable with our neutral status. To many it seems as if they could raise our state treaty into the air, yell 'Neutrality!' three times and errect a magical protective shield over our country.

    The neutrality article might have helped Austria in the 50s and 60s, but formerly secret documents revealed after the 2000s, showed the USSR had nuclear missiles in Hungary (not even the Communist leadership of Hungary itself was aware of them), aimed at Vienna and other major cities as far West as Salzburg. Vienna itself was meant to be taken out preemptively by two 500 KT strong thermonuclear missiles. The warning time would have been probably just something in the range of two minutes or less.

    So in retrospect, it showed our neutrality was just a fig-leave for our own mental state: telling ourselves all will be good and nobody will come after us, should the worst ever come to pass. Nobody wanted to face reality and do what was necesary, like what Finland or Switzerland was doing with bunker projects or mentally and economically prerparing the populace for the possibility. Instead politicians could take large amounts of money to please the people to elect them. Thank you very much, Kreisky.

    Its pretty unlikely because neutral members (Austria, Hungary, because orban isn't gonna Fight Daddy Putin) would be dragged to wars

    I am against an EU army because it would accelerate the idea of two global factions and increase the likelihood of a global nuclear war. I also fear a global dictatorship, which will also become more likely.

    My guess is they want an army to supress right wing groups like AfD: they certainly won't be using to stop the never ending flood of illegal immigration from Africa and Asia.

    Four times in the past few countries Russia was invaded by armies from Western Europe. On each occasion Russia suffered devastation but the invading armies were defeated. Nuclear weapons today are preventing NATO from embarking on another invasion of Russia. Nuclear weapons also protect NATO countries from any threat whether real or imaginary of being invaded by Russia. As for Ukraine? Eastern Ukraine and Crimea traditionally belonged to Russia or the Ottoman Empire. Much of western Ukraine was for a long time part of Poland.
