North Atlantic Alliance sees senseless step in EU new idea. It's about creating pan-European troops.. According to the Secretary General of the bloc Jens Stoltenberg, the redundant army of the world need nothing. The politician said this during a conference in the German capital.. However, he stressed that, in general, NATO viewed positively attempts to strengthen the defense sector. “Because they expand their capabilities and overcome fragmentation in the military-industrial complex,” Gensaka quoted RIA Novosti as saying.. Immediately Stoltenberg explained that this category does not include duplicate command structures. “The reality is that we need one strong command structure,” he said, adding that now we need to focus on strengthening transatlantic relations. After all, NATO-backing countries that are behind the EU play a key role in European security. So, according to Stolnberg, a common army is impossible, for example, without Turkey, Norway, Canada, the United States and Britain, which is about to leave the European Union..
