Macron claims NATO's "brain death"

“What we are experiencing now is the death of NATO’s brain,” the French leader said.

In his opinion, Europeans are “on the edge of the abyss” and can no longer count on US military defense.

As Macron noted, Europe needs to start thinking of itself as an independent geopolitical force, otherwise it will not control its own destiny.

In October, Macron said events in Syria question the functioning of NATO.

In 2018, the head of France advocated the creation of a pan-European army.
