Nato might blow up here, the US president is using greenland as the wedge issue to get the support to end it, and trying to increase the military budget to 1.5 trillion to make up for the lost arms sales to nato that would result, I strongly suspect.
A very related but different issue. With the possibility of the US leaving NATO or even worse, turning hostile, it’s even more important that Europe gets her military in shape. And Spain is pretty much the European country that doesn’t pick up the slack right now.
I never hear of them doing anything militarily, or of selling any advanced weaponry, which is odd considering their former empire being one of the largest ever in the world and all. You hear about EADS, a consortium across france and germany and whereever, and other pan european arms, plenty of german stuff, italian, the UK.
From what I’ve heard eastern europe is less advanced stuff usually, small arms and the like.
No, you have to hit your NATO spending first before you can have another military alliance.
How about no?
Well, no EU army for freeloaders!

Idk if he will succeed, but that’s their plan.
