I don’t believe anymore to any graph, statistic on internet. This is pure fucking propaganda. I want true graphs of how many new drug addicts, how many babies were born, how many imported, how many suicides….that graphs will open people’s minds

Establish the European army already! We’re tired of endless discussions. We want the European Union Armed Forces.

The main reason it has not been created so far is that the member states distrust each other and have their own interests.
For example, the European army is often discussed with the West in mind, but the southern flank is being overlooked.
Until all parties reach a genuine agreement on cooperation and mutual trust, the creation of a European army will not move forward.

It will take more than a decade to do that. There’s no time for it and starting now will only decrease readiness/priorities

They finally stopped using the national flags for the No-Options it seems, good.

How does this poll result seem accurate considering the numbers that voted for AFD?

This army is running low on weapons,how are you going to create it?
Fico and orban are other obstacles

Start with a European Air Force and logistics service ffs…

Wow, it would be nice. But it would be perfect if citizens from non-EU country (like Serbia or Switzerland) could join.

Strategic mistake: it has to be EU armed forces.

Almost everything I have heard about European defense is about the politics, popularity or financing.
Where is the discussion about what this army is, how it works, where it is, how big it is? What is the command structure? Mandate?

A European army or an EU specific commitment from the existing national armies?
One would be more successful than the other

It would be helpful to start with being able to communicate properly in exercises.

Yeah because then we can pass the responsibility for our defense to someone else again. Germans are allergic to military responsibility

Well, I do not think we will see a european army per se soon….BUT we already see a lot of military consolidiation. Not to the degree we get some major weapons system for all of europe, like one type of tank, one type of personal weapon etc…..but at least it is going down from like 16 types of different systems of the same class to maybe 3 or 4.

I am a german professional soldier and i am against this. I ofc am pro working together very close to our EU allies, but i don’t see an EU army happening. Too many things that don’t work out. Payment, giving orders, serving for our constitution and our citizens by oath. Who fights and loses soldiers and who is just in the back, giving orders, organizing, supporting etc? You can’t make it fair.

I’m from 🇷🇴 and I totally agree with that. I would go to war to defend any European country, and to defend our land.

This is very insightful. This means more people is in favour of an EU army than the AfD. What this means is that part of the AfD voters are pro-European.
European leaders should wake up and do some critical thinking on what problems concern these voters as much as to vote a far-right party, even if that means scrificing Europe’s unity. I am willing to be that bringing them back to traditional parties would not be that hard if they actually had the balls to speak about those issues.

There is just zero political momentum for it. It would also mean, that each EU country would give up its military sovereignty towards EU institutions and who would become the commander in chief?. Nobody is going to do that. Certainly not with the current state of the EU. We need more progress with the EU integration. Like the EU passport or the EU constitution. We couldn’t even do that. Since than, the EU is just lethargically status quo. We can’t even change the veto mechanism and get rid of Orban.

Good that Germany supports forming a Euroarmy. Now what about the rest of the EU?

Based purely on the AFD’s current support this could not be accurate.

Give it a cool name too. European continental army or something like that.

Not the same country, not the same people, not the same language, not the same religion, not the same family structure, not the same goal. Not even the same continent. 100% wishful thinking

Any EU army will need the involvement of the UK and the burden will have to be equally split/ shared between the main parties and not a situation where the UK is doing more than its fair share and France isn’t.

Honestly, how is this even a discussion? Shit or get off the pot. The EU has been around like what, 30 years now? And no army? The whole world (except apparently Trump) sees how much of a threat Russia is… it’s way beyond time that the EU had a well armed, well funded, standing army… let’s goooooo

This will never happen. NATO serves this purpose. Just recreate new version without the USA. Europe is not the USA. It’s comprised of multiple countries, many of which don’t like each other much. Most are only in the EU not for altruistic reasons but because it helps them economically. Even if there was a movement for a European Army the wealthier countries would realize that they would bear the bulk of the cost so why not just put that spend into their own army which after all could be used to support another country if they so chose. Just like France is doing with her nuclear capabilities.

increasing military budget means decreasing everything else, I dont think its the best interest of the european people,

Good luck mobilizing it. We all saw the tantrum a few days ago when the idea of conscription was raised.

What is ‘Net Result’ supposed to mean?
The fact 12% opposes doesn’t mean you can just subtract that from 84% in favor to get a ‘net result’ of 72%.

Honestly I think a joined command and more exercises and harmonizing between all the national armies would be a better route to take.
