France may be leaving NATO

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

This is just the French being French.

I'm more concerned about how much longer the French WILL be French.

Sadly, the French aren’t very concerned.

 

[JLW]

Oh yeah let's all head back to the good old pre-WWII days! Hell let's head back to the days to pre-WWI! Those were good times back then! When Wars, depression, economic turmoil, and colonization were all the rage. Well we get what we deserve.

A resolution has been prepared in the French parliament proposing the country’s withdrawal from NATO amid disagreements with US policy. The document was initiated by the vice president of the National Assembly, Clemence Guette, a lawmaker from the left-wing party La France Insoumise (LFI).

One of the issues France has is the requirement for NATO member states to raise military spending to at least 5% of GDP. France currently is spending 2.06% of GDP. Not quite sure what they feel it would cost for France to leave NATO and provide for their own defense.

We all now how well they did against the Germans. Socialism is killing their economy

 

[Unkotare]

France did us a solid in the Revolutionary War, ...

They didn't do that for us; they did it to put it in the face of the British.

 

[Bitterhook]

They didn't do that for us; they did it to put it in the face of the British.

It was still a solid and helped us immensely at that particular moment in time.
To suggest they would do shit out of the kindness of their heart was not the point I was making.

FACO.

Or we can move forward while dropping the dead weight, which is Europe. How they chose to conduct themselves is their business. There is plenty to do in our own hemisphere to last us decades.

Europe can't survive militarily w/o US help.

That may or may not be true.

It’s also irrelevant

 

[Lesh]

The thing is the biggest pansies are in Western Europe, and they know they have a buffer of the Eastern Europe states like Poland that the US would never abandon.

Sounds like your fellow Trumpers would

 

[Lockback]

That may or may not be true.

It’s also irrelevant

Why would it be irrelevant?

 

[Rogue AI]

Why would it be irrelevant?

Come on man, Europe has the support of millions of liberal American keyboard warriors. Look how effective they were for Ukraine, oh wait...

 

[Lesh]

Why would it be irrelevant?

Because unless we’re insane and actually WANT to empower Putin

It won’t happen.

Remember, Trump is claiming that taking Greenland is a defense against Russia

Leaving NATO EMPOWERS Russia

It's true, they're having problems replacing arms they've given to the Uke's, plus all of their economies are in a tail spin.

Greenland is for OUR defense. How is leaving NATO empowering Russia? Europe had three times the population of Russia, trillions more dollars, and near peer technology. You loons keep saying WE should be afraid if Euroweenies have a hissy fit. You lot are either liars or hypocrites.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

France needs NATO, they've never been able to defend themselves past the 1800s

 

[22lcidw]

Sounds like your fellow Trumpers would

Eastern Europe is somewhat tougher.

 

[Delldude]

That may or may not be true.

This puts the entire NATO group into perspective.




Ooops

 

[BackAgain]

Who cares? Seriously

Sooner or later, the people of France may care.

Modern day history shows that France isn’t likely to be able to save itself from any serious military actions against it. For **** sake, they’re too stupid to recognize the threat of the Islamist invasion of their own nation.

Otherwise, I agree with you.
