I feel like EU countries who are neutral are going to run into issues when the EU creates a union military.

Let it be clear that "neutrality" just means helping to maintain the settler-colony entity occupying Palestine and capitulating to their Western siblings no-problem while not saying much publicly about the U.S. State Department list of definitely-ontologically-bad-countries-and-resistance-groups list.
Yes, this too applies to Switzerland, Andorra, Ireland, Lichtenstein, Malta, Monaco and so on.

I think neutrality just means that they won't payroll the US military industrial complex directly. Aside from that, Austria stays together with the other nations of the Western block.

Austria is doing the right thing. I hope America leaves/dissolves NATO soon so that we can make peace with Russia.

Pretty sure if the US leaves NATO, they’ll find a way to bring Ukraine in.

Saving this comment to see if/when that happens and Russia finds another excuse, your viewpoint has changed.

I think I realized something. Only America has such a massive military budget that they need to find excuses to use it. They don't care about the costs in money, material, people, diplomacy, or reputation.
Combine that behavior with the projectionism and fear that underpin the white empire, and people like you just assume Russia is always looking for an excuse to use its military.
What you don't seem to understand is that no country other than the US is looking for the excuses for war. They are dangerous, they are expensive, they kill people who could be working or trading or researching, they stretch your national defenses and leave you vulnerable, they cost you diplomatic relationships even when you're in the right, and they direct economic output towards a black hole of wealth destruction instead of towards wealth creation and public benefit.
Only the US, with its absolutely massive military budget is OK with that.
Russia doesn't want war. It does not benefit from being sanctioned, from shrinking its diplomatic support, from reducing its political influence, from losing able-bodied citizens. In the Russian calculus, this particular act must have been so important it would be willing to take these risks.
And no, it's not for a land grab like you empire-brained fools keep saying. Russia doesn't have sufficient population to hold, control, and exploit a country as large as Ukraine let alone any more of Europe. The only way it can gain wealth from other nations is through alignment with the leadership of those nations, and launching a war is a sure fire way to ensure that even if they installed an aligned leader that the people would be anti-Russian for a long time, destroying years of opportunities to benefit from a Russian puppet regime.
Stop imagining every country has the same behavioral profile as the psychotic sociopathic West and start understanding that, like it or not, Russia, China, Iran, Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, etc are motivated first and foremost by keeping their countries whole, safe, healthy, self-determined, and prosperous.

My viewpoint has been like that since 2019. Death to nato. Peace with russia. Its still possible. European countries have been smuggling nato soldiers into the ukraine war, and russia gets rid of them for us. If this continues, most of nato's biggest proponents will be dead.
