A European army is a far more sensible move than NATO. The US is an extremely unreliable partner. If Russia acually invades EU (which it won’t because the EU already spends 4x more money on military than Russia right now) you can bet America will sit back and call it a day or do some top tier blackmail in exchange for helping.
What’s the difference though? It would essentially be the same thing as NATO just without the US and Canada. We’d still have the same commitments. Canada is a reliable partner and it’s only really Trumps reign where the US has been a bit weird but ultimately it’s still a huge strength to have the US within the pact.
I agree with the general sentiment, but let’s be honest. America has been America First since well before Trump and it will be well after. Remember when our darling Obama hacked an EU ally’s phone?

That the US cannot lead the EU into invading Iran under fake pretenses which I expect any moment now.
In case you haven’t noticed, the EU is incredibly dependant on American weapons and are constantly getting blackmailed by it.
