European leaders have called for greater unity and military cooperation across the continent in response to comments from Donald Trump that threatened to undermine the basis of Nato.
Donald Tusk, Poland’s prime minister, said on a visit to Paris on Monday that there was “no alternative” to the EU and the transatlantic alliance before a summit in which he discussed deepening defence relationships with the French president, Emmanuel Macron.
“It is probably here in Paris that the words from The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas resonate most clearly: ‘All for one, and one for all,’” said Tusk, in a thinly veiled riposte to the former US president and frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination.
ETO: European Treaty Organization. Cut the US out and problem solved.
No longer following imperialistic US foreign policy in the name of collective defense.
I dunno, Marine Le Pen and others are also casting a shadow over Europe. Keep voting for strong candidates to keep the likes of her and the AFD out. It’s very important the world weather this storm.
Orban is no prize, as another example. But it sounds like Poland turned things around in the last election?
Small note, make it ETO‘O: European Treaty Organisation Operations.
The good thing about outsourcing military might to another country like the USA has had pretty great social effects in European countries. Lower militarism, higher amount of resources put to actually useful things.
But I guess nothing can last forever.
