If the plan to revive Sophia doesn't succeed, it would send"an extremely negative message," Graziano said, as it would mean the EU is “not able to find a solution.”
Graziano has been in his current post since November 2018, leading the work of the EU Military Committee, a body composed of the member countries' chiefs of defense.Before moving to Brussels, the four-star general held a variety of senior roles in the Italian military and in international operations, including as commander of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon. But, he suggested, Europe currently faces the most challenging security environment he has known as a military officer.
Graziano argued that even during the Balkan conflicts of the 1990s, when war raged inside Europe, the threat to the Continent was not as complex or as serious as it is today. He said the Continent faces a series of interlinked security challenges to its south — a “triangle of instability” composed of terrorism, illegal migration and failing states.

Yugoslavia? Ukraine?

EU has to start taking care if it's own army and defences. USA is actively tradewarring us and boycotting EU companies. They are no longer an ally but an economical competitor and geopolitical destabilizer of European interests.
Yes being part of NATO is the biggest existential threat for mainland Europe ...
