Parent says "Every member state has a binding agreement of mutual protection" Emphasis added. This is not the same as "the EU is a mutal-defense agreement". The EU is a lot of things. I just googled "eu mutual defence" and got authoritative links such as https://eur-lex.europa.eu/EN/legal-content/glossary/mutual-defence-clause.htm https://eur-lex.europa.eu/EN/legal-content/glossary/mutual-d... IDK, could you have googled that?
