- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> EU already also has a mutual defense clause extremely similar to NATO Is it explicitly nuclear?
- palata 2y agoWell, there is still NATO. Because the US are unreliable doesn't mean that the other members of NATO are? Genuinely asking.
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> there is still NATO For conventional war, probably. For nuclear, will Paris risk its homeland for Latvia?
- palata 2y agoRight. So the question is: given that NATO is now a lot weaker because of the US, it's not clear whether the promises of mutual defence still hold. Do I understand that correctly?
- Aloisius 2y agoWe saw the EU's commitment to Article 42(7) when France invoked it in response to the Bataclan attacks. To say it was underwhelming would be an understatement.
