    But the EU is kind of one country with one law. It is a federal system, but you can make a federal military structure. And the current European defense structure has been failing for a generation, constantly requiring American involvement and leadership.

    And the EU initially started as way to tie together industries tied to defense as a way to keep the peace. At this point, might as well tie together the militaries as well.

      The EU isn’t a federation or country. It has some federal characteristics but it’s nowhere near as unified as the USA.

      It’s closer to a confederation.
