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 increased membership of NATO is something that does not seem true to my eyes, Pierre Degaulle and Miterrand are both pushing for an exit of NATO and entry to BRICS because as I said prior, nato is responsible for dozens of undemocratic regime changes. Most of the global south (which constitues 6.2 billion or about 82-86% of the human population) has been disadvantaged because of these “crusades in the spirit of democracy” (Iran and venezuela being the recent ones, but chile, mexico, indonesia, south africa, etc). Something that also relates to this is the departure of germany from Ostpolitik and the re-emergence of the russia-germany relationship which in my opinion can either be attributed to christian nationalist capital through the western world at the moment or resentment of the german populations due to the loss of both world wars and accords made subsequently (like the treaty of versailles) which disadvantaged germany in the long term.

      departure of germany from Ostpolitik and the re-emergence of the russia-germany relationship

      Isn’t Russia part of Ostpolitik?

      The easing of tensions with the East envisioned by Ostpolitik necessarily began with the Soviet Union, the only Eastern Bloc state with which the Federal Republic had formal diplomatic ties
