There are too many differing agendas within the EU to have a viable foreign policy. Just look at Ukraine, not every country in the EU is actually sending weapons and they all have differing ideas on the degree that the should sanction Russia, even though Russia is a threat they all agree on. And then there is France that is doing her own thing in Africa and the Pacific without caring about anybody else anyway.

The problem is they all have their own agendas, particularly France because France still has colonies, over a million French citizens live in French colonies in the pacific. Poland is not going to want to pay for a French Aircraft carrier to defend French interests and France isn't going to want to scrap her navy to focus on her Army to defend Poland.

As for the broken sub deal, Australia might have to pay 5.5 Billion Dollars for that.
