| The EU struggles to take any decisive action on foreign and security policy because it has to wait for all 29 member states to agree. Whereas the US can make and enforce security decisions at the drop of a hat.
The Europeans have long debated whether they should become bigger or closer. Bigger = more members for weight. Closer = deeper integration. Both cause more problems. So, a compromise has been proposed for a two-speed Europe.
There would be a loosely integrated EU for everyone, alongside a much tighter inner core that coordinates on economic, political, and security matters without vetoes. It’s still messy, and it would require a new treaty, but most importantly, powers like Germany and France would have to relinquish their treasured veto power, which likely won’t happen.
Unless a truly catastrophic war breaks out, the Europeans aren’t going to be on board for true political-military integration. So, we’re probably going to see the EU structure and institutions snap before actual reform takes place. |
