    Kind of depends on how you set up the command structure, doesn’t it? I’m sure clever people in the EU could figure out a way to avoid being held hostage by a bad actor.

      That’s the neat thing about this: Since establishing the command structure requires everyone to agree, the bad actors can simply block everything until they get what they want. There’s no way that they would agree to such a command structure which avoids them

        But an EU army wouldnt be set up without automatic response/duty to protect member states would it?

        Maybe? Vetoing spends political capital.

        But I agree that getting an EU army is not an easy task.
