The only country that can take on the EU military is the US. And all potential enemies (China, India, Russia) are economically dependent on the EU (and the US).

There's no need for the EU to increase it's defence budget.

Also: Europe doesn't have the will to fight a war now. Because there isn't a war we should be fighting. That will to fight will be there if Europe is attacked.
