Look at this map, it is very clear who really is part of Europe and who is not. Portugal, Greece, Austria, Switzerland, the Nordics, Ireland and the UK are not really part of Europe, everyone else is.
I say, let us scrap the current EU and make a new one, this time a federation with its own EU army, EU foreign policy, EU finance ministry, EU directly elected president, EU airforce and tight EU border guards.
And let us cut out those who don't want to be part of this - which is only democratic.

No
Main reason of opposition for EU army in Nordic countries is weakness of Germany and way French would use it. Whole thing would be set up as system to force everyone to buy weapons from French military industry, weapons that are more expensive and inferior to what US can supply. As bonus it would mean that zero resources would be spent on defending us. All of Finnish troops would be sent into baltic as buffer for nation that is practically without army, Germany.
Only reliable military partner in EU decided to make Brexit.
An EU Army without greece? why shouldn´t we include the huge amout of weapons we payed for in our army? Could be useful when Erdogan chimps out.
I would gladly support European Federation..
.. If not for the fact that West would immediately enforce western policies on eastern countries.
And that's a shame, European federation could dominate the world but radical ideologies would ruin everything again.
Nice nordic union you got right there, with uk allience. Mainlanders btfo
>only reliable partner in the EU decided to make Brexit
Sorry to tell you Pekka, aside from the special forces our military is an absolute joke.
>I thought these guys loathed the EU
They love an EU army, they want to be secure again. This is why Macron said pic related and was cheered by Frenchies.
