Good thread by
@lucasguttenberg.bsky.social on 'Coalitions of the Willing' in the EU 👇
I very much agree on principle
But the exception is the domain of defence
If the EU is to take on a more robust military role - esp. re Ukraine - then a Coalition of the Willing is key to moving things forward
“Coalitions of the willing” are back in vogue. Internationally, that makes sense. But in the EU context, I don’t buy the hype. In fact, it leads to the wrong conclusions and risks weakening the one institutional framework that actually gives Europe collective power in a world without rules.
