Sažetak
The political debate flared up among by EU member states when is spoken among military development programme under EU security. This intellectual shift is going to skyrocket about political debate how to carry out successfully an army transformation process by building up a common European army that shall not happen until 2020 and beyond. Security changes and challenges for European security could force national states to rethink among restructuring national armies that same day might be transformed and interrelated into European army and given under the EU’s single command, which needs to be separated from NATO’s command structure, both the SHAPE and ACO could be toppled into permanent EU military command in Brussels, and separated from US military command structure in Europe. Europe’s defense policy has to be changed some day and defense institutions might be necessary transformed in the European Defense Union (EDU) that Europe centric defense body shall replace NATO as to guide common defense policy autonomy without US interdiction anymore. How to transform command structure in praxis is difficult, and get convince EU member states to stay away from NATO policy, and fence itself from US hostile foreign policy to be able to stop political instigating against Russian Federation? The EDU would present an optimal solution for Europe to distance itself from US policy and prevents EU – NATO states into direct confrontation with Russian Federation, and would restart defense policy towards Russian Federation. Why would the EDU present the best solution for the EU’s security? Because the USA is sometimes playing dangerous political & war games after the end of the Cold War in Europe that could trigger regional & global wars, and NATO mostly has to follow, while the EDU would not have to.
