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?

      I’ll be honest, as a European, I don’t care who won the midterms until the US cleans up all the grief it caused. Some of it is unfixable, people died.

      The US does not to be the bad guy every 4-8 years and just say “hey it’s Dems in power now, we’re the good guys again”.

      Throw the idiots who did this into jail, stop surveilling the world, stop enriching yourselves and causing a recession every 8 years, then on 15 years we can talk.

      guess who won the midterms

      This means nothing and you know it. Tech oligarchs will never give up their power, and the Dems will never make them.

      we should continue to work with the Canadians

      Yeah canadians are cool and they are already Europe’s special little friend. But i’d argue that :

      • from a military perspective they are inside US Lebensraum
      • and from a political perspective they could fall to Trumpism at any time

      So i’d be wary of any deep integration with their military. Nothing personal but strange things happen to countries that are on the doorstep of the Empire, and being too entangled with them is a long term liability.

        Have a close look at Germany’s relationship with the US.
