Dutch liberal leader Jetten seeks to increase military spending to 3% GDP and establish the European Army. He urges the creation of the Energy Union to prevent states from buying gas from the enemy. Energy/defence policy should be led by EU, not states

>Energy/defence policy should be led by EU

Looks at Europe’s extreme reliance on the US for defence and the bloody fight that France (and others) had to put up to even have Nuclear acknowledged as a clean energy … Nope, not interested.
This kind of stuff will turn into a race to the bottom because making popular decisions is easier than making good ones. Countries unable to convince their partners will be incentivized to take the Political W at the detriment of a policy L, instead of going their own way as they do now.
The EU’s saving grace is that it’s member states are being moronic on different aspects of their policies, so they end up balancing out and can bail each other out when it becomes clear who fucked up.
