That's actually a decent answer, thanks. But they're an economic-only organization. The EU didn't bomb Libya, France and Britain did.

- exdsq 6y agoOne of the arguments for Brexit was that they’re becoming far more than an economic-only organisation
- free_rms 6y agoYeah, and the handling of the Greece situation a few years ago proved that politics abound over justice or sanity in all arenas. It'll be interesting to see how it develops, they're clearly more of a governing body than the UN, but also seem to have steered clear of anything close to a security issue.
- im3w1l 6y agoI think a reason that the EU is so well behaved is that the politicians know that they don't just compete with each other, they compete also with the non-existence of the EU. With time, as it entrenches and everyone believes in their hearts that the EU is going nowhere, then it will be less nice.
- detritus 6y agoI'd wager that it's more of a Political Union (hence Brexit, to a degree?) and is still too young to have meddled much in an overall coherent military strategy. Time will tell.
