Proposed army of the EU, an additional military arrangement besides NATO

A European army is a hypothetical army of the European Union that would supersede the Common Security and Defence Policy and would go beyond the proposed European Defence Union. Since no such unified army is currently established, defence is a matter for the member states individually. These are, however, bound by several obligations arising from international treaties, and they conduct several multinational initiatives.

History

As per Wikipedia:

The idea of a European army was first discussed in the 1950s. It was proposed by France and would have consisted of the "inner six" countries (Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and West Germany), in order to strengthen defence against the Soviet threat without directly rearming Germany in the wake of World War II. In 1952 the Treaty establishing the European Defence Community was signed but not ratified by the signatories.

However, during the Cold War, Western Europe relied on NATO for defence, precluding the development of European cooperation. Immediately after the "fall of communism", the defence apparatus was preoccupied by NATO expansion into the former Soviet bloc. The idea of a European army gained popularity after the September 11 attacks and NATO's involvement in conflicts outside of Europe. In a phenomenon dubbed diversification of European security, NATO has come to be responsible for "hard" threats while the European Union has taken a greater role in "soft" threats, including peacekeeping in the western Balkans. The 2009 Treaty of Lisbon also has furthered defence integration within the EU. This has led to support for a European Defence Union, which would be a step higher in collaboration than the current Common Security and Defence Policy.

In 2019, Germany and the Netherlands activated 414 Tank Battalion, the first that included soldiers from two EU countries. The battalion was created because Germany did not have enough soldiers, while the Netherlands lacked tank capability. This was described as a step towards a European army.

Background

Lisbon Treaty

Full article: Lisbon Treaty

The idea of an EU army, which has been long desired and championed mostly by the governments of France and Germany, was finally summoned into existence via the Lisbon Treaty, following the “successful” second Irish vote in 2009, after “assurances” were made that Irishmen would not be dragged into the EU War Machine without explicit permission of the people.

Ireland has a legal protection mechanism in place since 2011 which is known as the “triple lock” This barred Irish troops from being deployed without proper consultation and due process. The protocol was brought into being following the defeat of the Nice referendum in 2001. The triple lock requires assent by 3 parties in order to allow military engagement overseas. These parties are The UN, The Irish Parliament and the Irish Government. This is currently being undone by the most anti-Irish (though Irish-born) Taoiseach (aka Irish Prime Minister) to take that office- Micheál Martin- who has made the most outrageous statements against Irish sovereignty in defiance of his political party’s Fianna Fáil supposed “patriotic” raison d'etre.

Lisbon Treaty 2.0

(v1.0 Amended subsequent to Ireland’s first-time rejection.) Article 28 A [42] [ex Art. 17 TEU, amended]states: "1. The common security and defence policy [code for EU Army] shall be an integral part of the common foreign and security policy. It shall provide the Union with an operational capacity drawing on civilian and military assets. The Union may use them on missions outside the Union for peace-keeping, conflict prevention and strengthening international security in accordance with the principles of the United Nations Charter. The performance of these tasks shall be undertaken using capabilities provided by the Member States.”

According to EU mouthpiece Euronews on 17th April 2025: “Some European leaders have recently renewed calls for the creation of a European army — an idea that has long stalled on the continent. But is it time to revive it? Not for now, and likely not in the longer term either, several EU officials told Euronews.” It states that the (hilariously meagre) list of those who called for an EU Army in 2025 included:

• Volodymyr Zelenskyy
• Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez

US force reduction in Europe

In June 2026, James Corbett was asked “Why Is NATO Being Demolished?”, his answer being [author's summary] that this is all to make way for the next phase of the Globalist Technocrats’ grand plan: Home-grown EU aggression.

Latest efforts to get unenthused Europeans involved in EU aggression

• Helping with the “war effort”

The Irish taxpayer has dished out free housing to the mass exodus of Ukrainians fleeing their terrible conflict, many of whom arrive in recently-minted high quality vehicles miraculously untarnished by Russian ordnance. [Witnessed by author.]

• Irish EU presidency July-December 2026

Celebrations kicked off with the visit of unelected effective-dictator of Europe, German noblewoman Ursula von der Leyen 2nd->3rd July 2026. She visited Dublin and Cork in what was the most expensive and extensive security operation ever mounted in the history of the Irish state (even bigger than the security arrangements for the visit of the english queen in 2011.)

• Desperate efforts to make the Russian threat seem real in the West of Europe

The Irish media has been working furiously to encourage their viewers and readers to develop anxiety about being vapourised by Russia. So far it seems that the population, unconvinced of Ireland's importance when it comes to Russian military strategy, are unimpressed.

• Visit by Zelensky 2nd July 2026

Volodymyr came to ask Irish taxpayer for even more assistance than already afforded to him (At the same time that von der leyen was in the country). In what was a highly amusing political slap in the face, Zelensky rejected the offer of 27 armoured vehicles offered by the ever-willing-EU-collaborator-sycophant, minister Helen McEntee.
