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?
Article 1
The Parties undertake, as set forth in the Charter of the United Nations, to settle any international dispute in which they may be involved by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security and justice are not endangered, and to refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force in any manner inconsistent with the purposes of the United Nations.
what’s the problem with this?
Look at when and why it was used. Needs to go because it can be easily abused by countries like the US.
Edit: I’m a fucking moron and just did not read past article, I thought we were talking article 5.
…how?
I’m not trying to be obtuse, I’m genuinely curious how it works tho - I’m sure anything can be abused, I’m just having trouble understanding the mechanism.
I was somehow thinking of article 5 despite us clearly discussing article 1, lol just ignore my dumb ass.
