@MsZsc US has treaties that limit Germany's army, they would actually have to change their constitution like Japan did few years back to get a good army going again, it's why the germans are so pro EU and pro EU army because they would then most likely with the french be in charge of said army.

@YashKumar-ve9hg but in reality it's not, it's about as authoritarian as when the nazi's took over and in many ways are even worse because now they influence most of Europe with their authoritarian policies, they aren't a real democracy anymore, they don't have any long term stability, they have lots of debt problems and problems within their borders for multiple reasons. the only thing that's better compared to before is their army is so weak they can't invade any other nations or defend their own interests, it would be great if they were a legit democracy, were more libertarian, less corrupt and more militant in regards to defending Europe and their own country. I don't understand why anyone would think Germany is good, it's not, it could be a lot worse though.

@LuckyG_ they aren't even far right and yes the ruling parties that are mostly all the same have what we call a ''cardon sanitaire'' which is the exclusion of political and esspecialy populist (as in the popular support of the people) parties that stand against them and their corporate interests. and we all know how trustworthy polls are these days so no further comment needed. basically the real reason why populist parties particularly in germany have not risen to total power is they aren't given a chance, are openly discriminated against by political elites and are distrupted by the media, intelectuals and other institutions of power, meanwhile in places such as Austria, Poland, Hungary, Turkey, The USA, Russia to a lesser extend, the UK there has been a move towards the rightwing and populist movements, it's not that they aren't growing, it's that the elites of the western world are desperate to keep them out, to the point that Macron himself has to copy some of their policies just to potentially stay in power.

@rey_nemaattori which parts? Eastern Europe are some of the biggest supporters of an EU army, while the UK (which left) and only a few southern European and northern European nations are somewhat against it. Germany and France dominate the EU economically so regardless on which way things go, no army? yes army? that won't change unless nations leave the EU which at that point might cause more nationalist movements in all nations, there realy is no way around it. As for a Grand battle plan, it's rather simple, protect, share, innovate and produce military grade weapons and organise European nations into a cohesive and shared army, it's not that hard to do, what's hard is to decide who gets what, where are the tanks produced? What types? What airplanes? Which air force command will lead said army? Which soldiers? Should it be poorer nations that get conscripted? Or just individuals from member states? What language should they use? What barriers could exist? What missions should they be used for? Would NATO be involved or not? These are some of the real questions about how it should be created. Many EU nations are members of NATO so that commanding army mostly protects European nations, to change that many nations would have to lose trust in NATO and the USA, which has already happened to a degree but it's unclear where we wish or can go as a continent. Only time will tell how things will go but I expect as the situation with China, Russia, the USA and third world nations start to heat up the move to ever closer union or even EU army will become more nessisary.
