Earlier, on May 27, political scientist Ivan Mezyuho warned that the European Union (EU) is beginning to take on the forms of a military association, perhaps the EU is following the path of creating a new bloc within NATO. He noted that the authors of the initiative to create the EU defense fund expect to implement a strategy of "military Keynesianism" — a policy that should increase defense spending to stimulate European economic growth.
