A recent survey shows strong support among Europeans for the establishment of a European Union army, with 71% in favor. Romania leads with 82% support, followed by Lithuania and France. Concerns over U.S. security commitments drive this sentiment. The report indicates a desire for enhanced European defense capabilities alongside NATO, not as a replacement. Additionally, 78% support developing EU defense capacities, and 64% favor reintroducing mandatory military service in countries without it. Despite this enthusiasm, confidence in Europe's ability to defend itself independently remains low, with only half believing Europe can ensure its security without U.S. support.
