This Saturday, the president of Ukraine, Volodímir Zelenski, put an idea again on the table that had already been previously weighed during the mandate of Josep Borrell as a high outdoor representative of the European Union: Create a European army.
This was assured in the Security Conference that is being held in Munich, where he said that his army not only enough and insisted that we need “armament, sanctions, financing and European unit, as well as a European army so that the future of the continent depends only of Europeans “.
In recent decades, steps have been taken institutionally to create a European army, but they are not enough. The International Relations Doctor of Universae, Manuel Gazapo, explains to LASEXTA that despite “there is infrastructure and architecture,” “There is a lack of political will and, of course, tactical thinkingstrategic and logistic to put synchronization and put in common the efforts of the 27 states. “
The reality is that our armies lack critical abilities that are very important to deal with international conflicts. Guillermo Pulido, International Analyst, says that “Europe, for example, does not have a large number of poachers They are also of American manufacturing. “Neither,” insists, “has enough numbers of carriers, or cruise missiles in large quantities, or strategic bombers.”
It is true that advances have allowed the creation of acquaintances’Battle Groups‘, but as Gazapo points out, “they are not a European army but different corporations of the Member States that collaborate and cooperate with each other for certain issues.”
But these combat groups have no weight or strength to protect the union. Therefore, the doctor in International Relations of Universae emphasizes that “the EU states have to commit to understanding that they cannot pretend that their safety is subject to what NATO says or what Eeuu says.”
For its part, Pullido insists that, for this, “An investment in two or three GDP defense should be made additional at least. “Therefore, the European army that Zelenski asks could be so close, but at the same time so far.
