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?

    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.

      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.
