The general consensus was that both will happen - the EU will get its army and central intelligence and NA will get its SPP. The questions are: "Why?" and: "Why now?"

As Angela Merkel warned - we can no longer take peace for granted. There's war on the way and a population is far more amenable to draconian measures in a wartime situation than in a peacetime.
