So, LFI had political hindsight? After seeing what’s happening with NATO in Palestine and in Iran, how on Earth do you think joining NATO was a good idea? Good job Finland and Sweden becoming Trump’s lapdogs and destroying your welfare state to buy more F-16s.
After all these things that are happening, if you still consider that anyone becoming a military slave to USA is a good idea… I don’t know what to tell you.
Those countries are already EU countries. Russia will not dare to touch them. And if they do, then being in or out of NATO would become the smallest of our problems at that point.
A EU real defence policy would be better, but countries under immediate threats (3–4 years away) curiously lack that patience.
So until we have a real credible alternative to NATO, this is the only alliance available! NATO is not just about promises of mutual help. It includes military cooperation, joined exercises, etc. so that if shit hits the fan, allied military are ready to fight together in an integrated framework.
And that does not prevent NATO members from purchasing non-US equipment, which is what the EU has put up as a policy. France is actually a very good proof of that.
In 2022, Finland 🇫🇮 and Sweden 🇸🇪, requested to join NATO due to threats from Russia.
It required a vote in the French Parliament.
Every political party voted “Yes”. Except two:
🔴 Rassemblement National: Abstention.
🔴 LFI: Against.
