      “In reality we are dependent on the decisions of (U.S. President) Donald Trump which is regrettable,” said Le Pen, ​whose National Rally party leads opinion polls about a year before the presidential election.

      She is a fascist loser but it’s kind of hard to argue staying in NATO isn’t, it being a defacto US led alliance.

      That said, all the non US NATO members should obviously remain closely aligned in defence.

      She’s right, but only in a broken clock sense. And her “fixing” things will make them worse

          I think she’s correct that Europe and France need to move away from their primarily military coordination and defensive alliance taking place under a defacto US leadership.

          Beyond that I don’t think she’s right about anything and any move away from all other NATO allies that aren’t the USA is a clear pro russian move.

          I don’t think I’d call this a particularly brave take

    She also wants to see the EU mutilated or destroyed, which should make it obvious, who she’d prefer calling the shots in Europe. I don’t think she is delusional enough to think it will be Paris.
