Really? looks like manipulated data or as a minimum unreliable
Yes to defend against dictators like Putin and Trump
But what does that mean European army? Is it removing the national army´s completely for one super European army? Or simply more integration and cooperation? For example using the same ammo, European industrial cooperation and a European command structure like the allies did in ww2?
A common army for what purpose? First, we need common diplomacy.
Diplomacy is the brain, the army is the fist in the face.
Can you imagine the squabbling over who has contributed the most and who isn’t contributing enough?
Also funny that Portugal has the highest support for the idea, they consistently spend one of the lowest proportions of GDP on defense in Europe.
Bad idea, just takes one clown show like Hungary with Orban to torpedo the entire thing
Portugal is closest… they are like YES! YES!!
Never happening until we and Austria are not the only countries with mandatory conscription for all men

Don’t know how reliable this data is but isn’t this basically just the inverse of who has the biggest military or military spending?
Would make sense that individually weaker militaries support this idea because they have only something to gain and nothing to lose.
We don’t need a European army, we need a European strategic command, stronger joint procurement and tighter integration & cooperation outside NATO/US-led framework.
The dick and balls of Europe look even better without Norway attached.
We were always at war with Eurasia
I think it is more valuable to ask different questions like;
– Should a European army to replace the national army?
– Should a European army be in command of the national army?
– Are you willing to pay more, the same or less for a European army?
– Should the European army only be used for defensive purposes?
– Should the European army be used for missions beyond the European borders?
– Who should have the political control over a European army?
I doubt there will be much alignment on this across the European nations or even within a European nation.
If you do not feed your own army, you will end up feeding someone else’s.
That is an EU army not a European army
Now that would not be politically used at all would it….
Are these numbers based on something or just random AI shit?
It is inevitable. If our allies are eyeing up our territory just imagine what the enemies are up to.
A strong army with standardized equipment (made in EU) with a single command chain ready to answer immediately.
Either that or we can continue being a collection of microstates who have to suck some other powers dick to survive.
It s time to act.
All countries should have their own armies, and friend countries should help each other if they can.
But that means governments must treat their own people good enough for them to feel like they still have a homeland to live for, work for and fight for.
You need nationalism 🙂
Is this post being brigaded by Americans or Russians?
Is that hard four y’all to believe that Europeans want more integration? Especially in a matter that would make them less dependent on the US…
But nobody wants to enrole in the army. Who wants to die for such “union”?
Finland is like “ nah, we got this“
Oh christ, not this bullshit again
Terrible choice of colors.
hell no.
Lazy ass spain as usuall 🚬
Netherlands and Germany have already soft-merged their armies.
It doesn’t really paint an accurate picture of people’s stances. Finland is against the EU centralized idea of an army because the Finnish army is doing just fine fending off the Russians on its own.
Finland doesn’t want to compromise it’s sovereignty and advantage or risk getting diminished and undermined by an EU which they view as militarily inferior to Finland.
Most people assume the proposed EU army is interpreted as an improvement over the current state of things. But certain countries have more faith in their own armed forces as opposed to a centralized EU chain of command ran by people who’ve never even fought a battle.
Finland requires the sovereignty to respond quickly and immediately to Russian threats which are constant and unpredictably instantaneous. The last thing they need is the notorious European red tape holding up their Rapid Response forces waiting for confirmation to address a Russian attack. And what could an EU army possibly offer Finland that they don’t possess already? Even Finland’s strongly worded letters are superior to anything the EU ever did, let alone their armies.
49% in Ireland in 2024 sounds insanely high to me.
Support has increased since then with the global events of the last year but even with that I’d be surprised if it’s much higher than 30% – we just elected a president with a large majority who is vehemently against such an idea.
