Part 6/11:
Sovereignty Issues: A collective military might raise fears of diminished national sovereignty and internal discord if disagreements arise among member states.
NATO’s Role: There is apprehension that creating a separate army could render NATO obsolete, undermining the essential partnership with the U.S.
Financial Burden: Engaging in a military commitment would necessitate increased defense spending among European nations.
Given these complexities, the prospect of establishing a European Army remains contentious, and it raises critical questions about how member states would collaborate effectively.
