European Union’s Defense Policy and Solidarity After the Incident with Russia- by Akli Hadid

"The Russia-EU summit in Samara, Russia resulted in the fact that the EU openly stated its solidarity among EU countries in terms of security from foreign threats. As Russia has threatened to aim missiles at the EU, it seems as though the EU now has an enemy: Russia." Note EU-Digest: what Mr. Hadid does not take into consideration is that Russia made this threat because the US unilaterally made the decision to place missiles and radar equipment in Poland and the Czech Republic, even though the majority of the population in the EU is against it. Unfortunately, this once again shows the weakness of the EU as a whole for not being able to stand up for what it believes in against the US and a minority of its own members (Poland - which nearly wrecked the last EU Summit, the Czech Republic and Britain). Russia certainly can not be considered Europe's enemy.
