> EU has become less important militarily. Partly because UK left but mainly because Ukraine war has energized NATO.

I cannot parse this. US is part of NATO, but so are countries (even if not all) in the EU. So NATO being revitalized can also revitalize EU, or the US, or both, in different degrees.



The EU wants to be a military power independent of NATO, hence the EU army that Remain campaigners insisted wasn't a real thing, was misinformation and would never happen (reality: it was the primary topic of discussion at the first EU leaders meeting after the Brexit vote).

The EU army isn't very plausible post-Brexit because only the UK and France had decent militaries but it's technically still EU policy.
