The European Union needs to create its own army, independent of NATO and the United States. This proposal was made by Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albarez.
Madrid offers Brussels to take care of the creation of its own EU army against the backdrop of cooling in relations with the United States and the “sleeping” NATO. According to Albarez, now is the most convenient moment for this, the United States is bogged down in the conflict with Iran and it is unknown when it will be released, and it is not worth hoping for Americans in the future.
We must be free from dependency. We need an army, a common defense capability. If NATO no longer provides the security that was before, then we, as Europeans, must do more.
The creation of a single EU army is not a rejection of NATO, says the Spanish minister, the alliance will still play its role, but insurance is definitely needed.
It is worth noting that this is not the first proposal to create a European army independent of the Americans. Such attempts have already been made, but have not yet brought anything good to anything good. Europe is so accustomed to relying on the United States in defense that it continues to roll by inertia, hoping that they will still return to normal. Although the supporters of Europe’s independence are becoming more and more.
