It is preferable indeed, the EU shouldn't be a political entity, it should have remained a common economic area, a mere common market to fend off against globalization typically leaving domestic policies to member states Instead we get to have woke ideology on steroids imposed to member states (hungary and migroids) by an inept bunch of non elected socialist karens And a EU army is potentially the gate open to all windows, like foreign troops quelling local protests typically, your army becoming no longer your army and such, the slippery slope is real It's becoming more and more a crossover between an ass backward version of the US and soviet russia lite, very dangerous on the long term And geopolitically, it's very easy to manipulate and coerce and subvert all those individual member states now through a single political entity https://euvsdisinfo.eu/report/the-judges-of-the-echr-are-affiliated-with-soros >The majority of the judges of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) are affiliated with George Soros' NGO network.
