The idea of a dedicated European military independent of (but in accordance with) NATO has been on the boards for quite some time. But Putin’s blundering has moved it to to forefront of the EU’s agenda, and it looks very much like becoming a reality over the next couple of years.

Good idea? Bad idea? Knee jerk reaction?
