CSDP and human security? CSDP as a tool against aggression?,http://t.co/SpQwVA3dvx

Human security situations may require strong military capabilities, R2P or to counter military aggression. http://t.co/96XmuweJtd

@londil > Why CSDP can be, rightly, used to face African threats to EU security and NOT East European ones? Double security standards in EU?
