Corbyn is a strong contender for the next British Prime Minister
Recently, according to the British "Daily Mail" report, British opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn publicly stated in a rally in 2014, He is not a fan of NATO, but rather hopes that NATO and the current Western military alliance will no longer exist. This is consistent with his previous position. In a previous interview, Corbyn denied that NATO had achieved great military success, and pointed the finger at Turkey, saying that its disharmony with European countries is an alliance relationship. An important factor for stability
Macron is determined to save Europe, but he is unable to recover
Coincidentally, earlier, French President Macron also expressed his own views on NATO, and his views on NATO are very similar to Corbin’s views. . Macron believes that NATO has been substantially "brain dead." In other words, NATO has lost its original ideals and goals, and is no longer a military organization that conforms to the interests of NATO countries or European countries. Macron also pointed the finger at Turkey, which subsequently attracted a fierce refutation from Turkish President Erdogan.
The United States has openly used a series of measures to interfere in European internal affairs. The troops stationed in Europe are just one link. The views of Corbyn and Macron on the NATO issue are surprisingly similar, and there is indeed an inevitability. Both of them mentioned that Turkey has caused great harm to Europe. One refers to the refugee problem, but refers to the Syrian issue, and the third refers to the kidnapping of Europe and NATO by Turkey on security issues.
Of course, there is another problem with that Macron once raised, but Corbin did not mention it, that is the shift in the US's focus on European affairs. It can be seen from the U.S. pressure on European countries to increase the proportion of military spending that the U.S. is withdrawing from European affairs and leaving the mess it left behind to the Europeans to deal with.
NATO is being kidnapped more and more by individual member states
NATO was originally formed by the United States to fight the Soviet Union. However, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, NATO did not disappear, but was transformed by the United States into a military organization that maintained its hegemony. Ironically, for Europe, US hegemony means the decline of Europe's own status. With the establishment of the European Union, old Europe has become an inevitable target of the United States.
Europe does not have a unified tradition, so it is also full of internal contradictions. From this perspective, it is not difficult to understand why Britain and France believe that NATO is no longer necessary. However, it is easier said than done. NATO, a huge organization with 4.5 million troops, wants to change its own historical inertia, from a hegemony fighting organization or maintenance organization to a real defense organization, the difficulty is no less than another cold war. How does
solve the problem? No one knows that
should say that Europe has been completely kidnapped by the United States through a series of means, and the Europeans themselves are not capable of getting rid of this kidnapper. From the recent humiliation of Macron by Erdogan, to the previous demonstrations of Turkish origin in Germany, and to the farce of Brexit that started a long time ago and has not yet ended, it all shows that although Europeans have a sense of crisis, But it is far from ready. This is undoubtedly the biggest problem that Europe must face and must solve.
