Part of the rethoric of european unification is that European countries are too small in today's world to go it alone. They have to band together as a block, which is a logic that predates both the Ukraine War and that one time in 2008 when systemic US fraud destroyed Europe's economy. It originated in a time of optimism, before the US encircled a divided Europe via wars in the middle east and such while hollowing it out. Nowadays the rethoric is used as a coping mechanism for european liberals and atlanticists. It is a desperate move against the reactionary nativism that would see the EU dismantled rather than held accountable to a democratic system.
Looking at the history of european nation states and how every institution arose due to the threat real or imagined of neighborly armies and industry, I don't think that's an unworkable slogan.
