The EU has been a political union ever since its inception as the EEC. It is vastly more than a mere trade bloc. The name change from EEC to EU clarified the matter.

It's still not a military alliance. There's no EU army or any command structure for such a thing.

Dude, the US spends over $120B/yr having the Navy patrol the Mediterranean to protect oil. What makes you believe that the 23 NATO nations in the EU won't view an attack on their combined economic interests as an attack on their national interests? $$ is the FIRST thing countries go to war for
