ok. We all live in our little bubble. And Putin is next to Mahatma Gandhi.

Meanwhile on topic regarding the european army it is very hard to see it happening as all the EU countries are in different position and capability of defending them selves. If looking at the ones outside of NATO, The Swedes woke up a few years ago and they are now investing to catch up two decades of eroding defence system. The Finns have been awake the whole time to make it as costly as possible for an intruder. And for a very good reason:

So we have EU in which everyone has different equipment and different capabilities, so I really can't see the formation of EU army.
