In November 2018 German chancellor Angela Merkel and President Emmanuel Macron of France announced that they would support the creation of a European army. Ms. Merkel said that the EU should rely less on the U.S. for military support and that “Europeans should take our fate more into our own hands if we want to survive as a European community.” Ms. Merkley said the army would not oppose NATO. President Marcon said the army is needed to protect the EU against China, Russia and the United States. Proponents argue that the EU lacks a united defence force to handle sudden conflicts outside of NATO. Opponents question how the army would fund itself since many EU countries spend less than 2% of their GDP on defence.

No, but the EU should act as a military alliance like NATO.
@92MMR5V2yrs2Y
Nein und die Eu abschaffen.
@9253NL32yrs2Y
It would depend, why would they create it in the first place? What are their motives?
@924ZY8B2yrs2Y
Yes, but only in times where it is needed.

@8TKNPFW3yrs3Y
No, and we should leave the European Union.
@8RR4P4C3yrs3Y
Only for emergency situations involving more than two nations in Europe.
@8RNTNJ23yrs3Y
There should not be any armies.
@8P2B7NW3yrs3Y
@8NLHYBJ3yrs3Y
Only in extreme circumstances
@8M6RF8F3yrs3Y
Yes, but impose large limits on it
@8J534QZ4yrs4Y
No, however NATO should be strengthened and European nations should contribute more to NATO. Europe should also have a standard EU foreign policy and every EU nation should be obliged to join NATO.
@8D7ZSQQ4yrs4Y
It depends on what it is used for
