Should NATO be replaced by a uniting, non-Cold War based European defence body?
I am clearly against any European defence body because it is for sure before you start, that it never will work. The differences between the European countries with all their extreme animosities up to open hatred would make it absolutely impossible. France would never accept the British and the British and French would never accept their German enemies as a part of such a European defence body. Smaller countries like the Netherlands, Denmark or Norway would never accept a membership of Germany so that the only solution could be a mix of French and British and perhaps the Dutch and Danish and Norwegian. Even the NATO never worked in case of these extreme animosities between European countries so that I would prefer if Germany would become neutral and let the other do what they want. After my opinion it is completely impossible to create such an institution.
