• W2253039133 abstract "BACK OFF NATO, THERE'S A NEW ARMY IN TOWN. (By journalist and historian Pyotr Romanov. Moscow Times, March 17, 2015, p. 9. Complete text:) Many analysts were surprised and confused when European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker recently called for the European Union to create its own army [see Current Digest, Vol. 67, No. 11, pp. 15-16]. idea at first seems rather ridiculous against the backdrop of existing NATO forces, the exorbitant cost of such a project, the fact that reaching consensus on the idea in today's Europe is next to impossible and a host of other obstacles as well. ... It is also clear that the US would do everything in its power to protect its leadership position in Europe, and that any European military structure existing alongside NATO would challenge Washington's dominant role. ... However, Juncker is no newcomer to big-time politics and is undoubtedly aware of all these considerations. That suggests this was no offhand remark, but a deliberate and well-considered step. So the question is: Why did he make this proposal at all, and why right now? ... simplest and most primitive interpretation is that it is intended as an attack on Moscow - especially considering that Juncker did cite Russia's participation in the Ukrainian conflict in an unsuccessful bid to add weight to his argument. But that maneuver prompted Russian State Duma Deputy Franz Klintsevich to fall into the trap of solemnly condemning Juncker for his provocative idea. ... As deputy chairman of the Duma defense committee, Klintsevich should understand that politicians often say things for purely political purposes. What's more, he must certainly realize that by the time such an army could come into existence - if it ever does at all - the Ukrainian conflict will have been long forgotten and European Union-Russian relations will have progressed beyond the current impasse. ... In other words, the current situation could not have motivated the proposal. Juncker cited the Russia factor in the same way a cook might use carrot stars as a holiday salad garnish: He probably figured that little touch would make it easier for the Americans to ... swallow his army salad. ... Another standard explanation is that the European commissioner was simply repeating an idea that many European politicians had previously expressed - namely, that the EU should have whatever structures are required to function independently, including the natural need for its own army. ... Lastly, Juncker might have used such Aesopian language to give vent to the accumulated frustration Europeans feel over excessive and intrusive US pressure. Indeed, this irritation has repeatedly made headlines in European media, and crops up in the statements of influential EU politicians. ... Consider, for example, the way German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier rebuffed NATO Supreme Allied Commander US Gen. Philip Mark Breedlove concerning the Ukrainian conflict. The statements [on Ukraine] from our source do not fully coincide with the statements made by NATO and the Steinmeier said. Although his words were politically correct, the subtext was clear: Mr. Breedlove, you are a liar. ... German newspaper Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten (DWN) reported that this was the first instance in which Germany had openly disagreed with NATO - and by extension, with the US, because Breedlove was expressing an official, not a personal position. ... According to DWN, There is increasing resistance in the EU toward the US strategy aimed against Russia. In this light, Juncker's claim that the creation of an EU army would help us to develop a common foreign and security policy can be seen, not as an attempt to intimidate Russia, but as a call for an independent EU foreign policy. Of course, this is not a full-blown mutiny, but it does indicate some grumbling in the ranks. ... It is definitely worth noting how quickly Germany expressed support for Juncker's proposal. After all, Germany is the lone heavyweight in today's EU. Britain forfeited that role by following in Washington's wake since World War II; and France, as compared to Germany, is only a middleweight. As for the other European states, none can even fight in the same ring with these three. ... In my opinion, Berlin's position on this issue is the most interesting, because Germany's support for Juncker's proposal might be a sort of declaration of intent. A European army is an idea with potential. ... Today, its proponents are only trying to get a feel for where other EU states stand on the subject. But tomorrow, or more likely the day after tomorrow, it might just become possible. Why wouldn't Germany support the idea of a future EU army, knowing that it would serve as its undisputed leader? ... Germany has already resolved its unity problem and put on political and economic weight - and will doubtless add more in the years ahead." @default.
