Didn’t expect Georgia to be so low.
Why are they polling non-eu members ? It doesn’t make sense
Ask them if they agree for that army to replace the nation army and see totally different results
“Yes” or “yes”?
Belarus: 36% lol
Why is ROI on here they don’t participate . Basically that is a joke
Yes..because ww3 is coming.
55% means yes for me. So, let’s go it 😀 I remember reading an article once about military strength of different nations and they even said that if the EU member states would combine their armies, they would easily be in the Top 5. I’ll try to find that article.
Why GB is added on a EU poll map from 2022, or any non-member?
Only EU’s members opinion matters.
I would be for it on the condition that countries like Poland, Hungary and Romania stop with their own aggressive attacks on the EU and respect its basic values. Otherwise I see no point in defending them against Russia really. They are basically turning themselves into Russian states all but in name.
Interesting fact, we dislike NATO almost as much as we support a European Army.
My problem with an EU army is the very different role military takes in different EU countries.
In Germany, in theory, the Bundeswehr is supposed to be a defence army. The planning or execution of a war of aggression is outlawed by our constitution and people involved get 10 years to life of jail time. That’s why German politicians will always try to call or differently or somehow turn it into a defensive war. But for Kosovo for example, there were politicians strictly opposed, and if somebody really wanted to prosecute the matter, I wouldn’t be too surprised if parts of government were imprisoned over the matter.
I cannot imagine the French, who are much more accepting of military interventions, want this burden on decision-making. And I don’t want our military to go around the globe for interventions.
