France may be leaving NATO

[Independent thinker]

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.

Well, Ukraine pays zero and NATO is coming to their defense so I guess France wants to jump on the bandwagon.

Can't open the link. I and I usually don't truth any media version that blames Trump for what other countries do.

Then you're a completely uninformed moron. If the only information you ever read is stuff you agree with, it's no wonder you still support Trump. Your refusal to even acknowledge truth or facts is your undoing.

You deserve everything that is happening to your country. Your destruction becomes inevitable.

So, what's happening up in Canada today? Anything? Anything at all?

 

[struth]

Not surprised by this, France doesn't want to carry their fair share anymore....they have been nothing but takers, and are basically socialist at this point....and in the pocket of the CCP....and have been for years.

Says WWII

Let me bring you up to date - its 2026 not 1942. And Sergeant "Chip" Saunders already passed away in 1988.
Since you don't know - Combat wasn't a BBC Documentary, but a typical fictitious American WWII movie.

So what does the false and ignorant argument from 2026; "Europe can't survive militarily w/o US help", have to do with WW II ???

FYI - NATO-Europe doesn't need the USA to defend itself against a mediocre military upstart such as the Russian Federation.
However - the pathological liar obviously doesn't get the meaning of Article 5, into his narcissistic worldview and mindset - which did not win any theoretical war, but made sure that a factual war by an aggressor, can't be won against any NATO member state.

As such not a single war against NATO ever occurred !!! from 1948 till today, which is presently 78 years. (older then you) and certainly older as Vic Morrow ever got.

NATO was and is mainly supported by the U.S. The NATO countries were not contributing their fair share, Trump reminded them.
Hey, Putin is weaker than ever now, he can’t make headway in Ukraine. Time for the other NATO partners to do something before Putin annexes them. Don’t hold your breath though.

NATO is indeed supported via US military assets - and certainly not "mainly". That NATO countries are not contributing their fair share, is pure Trump bull and lies.
In 2024 NATO (excluding the USA) paid up US$ 430 Billion for it's defense - whilst Russia could only come up with US$100 Billion.
In 2022 NATO (excluding the USA) paid up US$ 330 Billion for it's defense - whilst Russia could only come up with US$ 60 Billion.

So whilst Europe and Canada have increased their spending in 2022 to 2024 by US$ 100 Billion, the US has only increased it's spending by US$ 50 Billion. And that is way before Trump started to spread lies and bull.

Get some raw data, instead of spreading Trump lies and bull.

Before 2020, NATO allies did not meet the 2% of GDP guideline. Putin's invasion in 2022 NATO and Canada significantly increased their spending on NATO. Thank God Trump started the ball rolling in 2020. Biden dropped that ball and NATO slacked off until the Russian invasion (2022). They finally realized they could no longer skate. The U.S. was basically paying for NATO up to that point. Once the NATO partners finally started contributing their fair share, the U.S. could contribute less.

Any data is already poisoned by so many conflicting accounting tied to political desires. Now, go put some ICE on your strained brain.

France did us a solid in the Revolutionary War, and we did them a solid a few times, so I guess we are even in that score.
Sometimes kids grow up and learn how to stand on their own two feet.

Almost as though the US didn't guarantee an umbrella so European nations didn't feel obliged to nuke up. That'll teach them.

What a load.

How much did the US pay to NATO?

How much did it pay for its hegemony?

 

[cnm]

Lol. As though the US is there out of the goodness of its heart. It will be funny when the US tries to project power without friendly bases.

 

[Leo123]

What a load.

How much did it pay for its hegemony?

The U.S. contributes 15% of NATO's direct budget. Defense budgets as a whole, the US spends far more than any other member. Germany 15%, UK 10.3%. (down from 11%) In 1997 the U.S. cost share was about 28%.
