The European Union is preparing the ground to take over security duties in Europe. Killing NATO and ejecting American influence from Europe is the EU's wet dream.
In 2009, the European Union introduced a mutual defense clause under Article 42.7 of the Lisbon Treaty stating that "if a member state is the victim of armed aggression on its territory, the other member states shall have towards it an obligation of aid and assistance by all the means in their power."
The article further clarifies that this obligation "shall not prejudice the specific character of the security and defense policy of certain member states" — a recognition that countries whose main defense commitments are shaped by NATO.
The EU wants to kill NATO to eject America from Europe and transform into an empire. Article 42.7 is evidence that complementing NATO is not the EU’s goal.
America and Europeans who value liberty should unite to kill the EU. The EU should return to being a free-trade zone.
