The article says this:

“Immediately withdraw from NATO’s integrated command and then, in stages, from the organization itself. Reject the tribute demanded by the United States of 5% of GDP devoted to defense spending,” read France Unbowed’s 222-page program.

However, France under Mélenchon would still provide assistance to European Union countries under EU treaties, the document added

Is Melenchon right? Is it better for the EU to be the organisation of mutual defence guarantees for Europe, rather than NATO?

    The Ukraine bombing and torturing its own citizens doesn’t sit well with those of us that aren’t right wingers. We generally feel torturing and killing civilians is bad.

      Uh hi, it’s Russia that is bombing Ukraine.

      You even use the imperialist term “The Ukraine” That Russia wants you to use.

      And in what universe is your beloved Russia anything but right wing? It’s an oligarchy worse than the US.

        “The Ukraine” is just a linguistic quirk of English because we say “The US” and “The UK” and “The UAE” and “The USSR”. If Ukraine started with any other letters than “Uk” it never would have been a thing. People injecting a bunch of meaning into it ala “that implies Ukraine is just a region not a country” are just wrong.

        I didn’t mention Russia. Definitely not worse than the US, though. The US is by far the worst of settlers. Hell, all of Russia’s allies are leftists. The red scare has been mighty effective.

          You don’t have to mention them for it to be obvious who you’re worshipping.

            Worshipping? That’s a little extreme. I’d like the violence to end. The west’s support for the Ukrainian Nazi’s should make it pretty clear for everyone. Liberals aren’t even pretending to be leftish anymore.
