We look at 4 Tiers of possible defense integration: from establishing a EU foreign policy as the foundation to the ambitious goal of forming a full-fledged EU army. An EU Defense Union is gaining momentum and sparking discussions across the globe. But what does it mean? The pressing question we face is the depth of integration necessary to assert European sovereignty on the global stage, especially against superpowers such as the US, China, and Russia. In today's geopolitical climate, where the notion of national sovereignty faces challenges, a certain degree of integration seems imperative to safeguard European interests and autonomy.

We delve into the perspectives of influential European leaders like Ursula von der Leyen, Emmanuel Macron, Donald Tusk, and Olaf Scholz, exploring their global aspirations and how they shape the EU's defense strategy. The video also highlights the divergent visions of key EU member states—Germany, France, and Poland—each proposing unique paths toward achieving a more secure and unified Europe. This exploration not only sheds light on the complexities of EU defense integration but also underscores the critical need for a unified approach in navigating the intricate landscape of international relations and security.
