Hmm.... The EU already has considerable forces, right now, today. Here's a quick summary of EU forces generated by ChatGPT. Corrections welcomed as needed.
Combined Totals for EU Nations:
Main Battle Tanks: Approximately 2,416
Fighter Aircraft: Approximately 1,190
Active-Duty Personnel: Approximately 996,000
What good are these forces doing parked in their home countries? There is only one military threat to the EU, and everyone knows where it is. What's stopping the EU from parking most of these forces in western Ukraine or eastern Poland?
What's stopping the EU from positioning their forces behind the Ukrainian front lines to prevent any possible Russian breakthrough?
What are they afraid of? The Russians can only barely handle the Ukrainians alone, what chance would they have against the Ukrainians plus the EU forces?
There seems to be wide agreement the EU needs to strengthen it's military assets. But what may also be happening is that this need will be used as an excuse for why the EU can't engage now in some manner with the forces it already has.
