Mr Verhofstadt said: “That is the reality and it is normal because the 28 member states do 28 times the same thing. “What we really need is a European defence union. Call it a ‘European


Army’, call it what you want but it is the way forward.” It comes after a former military chief slammed Mr Juncker for attempting to “duplicate” NATO. Air Chief Marshal Sir Stuart Peach


spoke out after Mr Juncker and said NATO should not be undermined.  He said: “Nato is a hard power. It has divisions, it has cores, it has aircraft, it has ships, it has submarines.  “It has


a proper sense of direction and leadership." He said the EU was clueless by repeatedly calling for what is essentially a duplicate force.  He said: “So, all of that is the offer to the


people of the 29 nations who have chosen to join the alliance that creates collective security.  “Why would you duplicate? The answer, of course, we believe, is you wouldn’t want to


duplicate."
