I have yet not found the time to look at the proposals that
are being prepared for the December EU Summit on European defence. But knowing
what I know about the national armies in the key member states and all the
budgetary cuts and reductions of means that are taking place all over Europe, I
am afraid the proposal might be a disaster and an illusion. The so called EU
defence might end up by being a ghost that nobody fears.
I recognise we might have some serious reservations about
the US and its spying habits. But to think we can have a European defence
without a strong alliance with the US is totally foolish. And Brussels these
days has plenty of fools roaming around.
