Based on what are you saying France defense is weak ? France defense pilar is nuclear dissuasion, France has a dozen of nuclear submarines that are perfectly capable to bring nuclear threat anywhere in the world, French traditional forces are more than enough to deal with the rest of the threats. You are the one contradicting yourself since the beginningBritain or Russian marching towards France... smh.. you change your arguments every two posts, at one point it is Europe needs protection of uncle sam and now it is Europe does not need protection so let's get rid of NATO ? oh and your contradictions continue.. if Europe is not in danger why would Europe need to spend more on defense ?
I never said NATO is obsolete, NATO centered around defending US and Europe against Russian threat would be obsolete not really the case anymore.. Trash is asking Europe to increase defense spending for political reasons not because he believes Europe should be autonomous on its defense. I don't have numbers but I'm pretty sure US economy benefits more from NATO than the contrary.
Finally when I said traditional alliance should be reinforced I'm not talking about specifically NATO. My point is that Trash do is very best to weaken this alliance through trashing NATO and launching trade wars left and right when he should for the sake of everybody do the opposite.
World is gonna be dominated soon by China, Russia is becoming stronger, Islamism is growing, planet earth is becoming a giant trash can... we can face that together Europe+US or we can deal with that individually and break current alliance... I know what I prefer...
If Europe is pushed around the corner, Europe will tie new alliances with China/Russia and this is exactly what it is happening...

nuclear dissuasion is to dissuade any nation willing to nuke French territory and also make to dissuade anybody to march on your country.. if the red army decide to march on france, france won't try to stop them with traditional force but will launch nuclear strikes on russian soil..
