Spain calls for creation of EU army amid US unreliability

The article frames Spain's EU army proposal through a sovereignty-first lens, emphasizing 'unreliability' of the US as a characterization rather than neutral reporting of security concerns. Language like 'broader shift toward European sovereignty' adopts the Spanish government's framing without embedding counterarguments from US officials or security analysts. The sourcing likely relies on government statements rather than balanced expert perspective on NATO interdependence.
