President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said in a closed-door meeting with the European Parliament that the EU is striving to become a military superpower without losing its economic strength. Von der Leyen said, "We know we need to be strong, and strength is crucial. We are not an army, but we are trying to become one." This marks the beginning of the EU's transformation from an economic and political organization into an economic, political, and military integrated organization, and the EU will next have its own military headquarters, military theory, and military plans.
In the same meeting, von der Leyen also talked about the issue of Greenland. On one hand, she emphasized the right of self-determination of the islanders; on the other hand, she promised to provide "European support." At the same time, the European Parliament has already begun to propose relevant proposals, planning to pressure the United States by using American sovereign debt and restricting its access to the EU market that has 450 million consumers.
Europe is clearly preparing for a new era, in which safeguarding its own interests will no longer rely solely on regulations and sanctions, but rather move away from its security dependence on the United States and rely on the EU's military power.
