A British Army officer turned MP has warned NATO’s Article 5 is “effectively dead” and says Europe needs to form its own alliance without the US. Lib Dem MP Mike Martin, who sits on the Defence Committee, says the Government needs to reconsider its faith in Article 5 - the cornerstone of NATO security.
The Afghanistan veteran says Europe must develop its own collective alliance, dubbed EATO, led by Britain or France as the continent’s two sole nuclear powers. He told the Express: “What I would like to see is a serious assessment as to whether they [the Government] think Article 5 is dead. I think it is and so do our European allies. And if that is the case, the next logical progression is collective defence in Europe under British leadership, because it’s either got to be us or the French.”
Faith in the US among the Western allies has eroded following comments made by the Trump administration, Mr Martin argued, and the situation is only likely to have worsened after the US President’s explosive row with Volodymyr Zelensky in the White House.
He added: “You’ve got to have confidence in it [Article 5] to rely on it and there’s no confidence now. Therefore it is effectively dead.”
His comments echoed those made by incoming German Chancellor Friedrich Merz who warned NATO could cease to exist in its current form, with Europe taking care of its own defence.

Russia and China are going to literally move migrants into Europe, paying their journey.
Well, that’s not going to be so bad going into summer. Will have more impact come winter.
They will all be DEAD by the time they put that together. Seriously, it’s amusing watching these self important bureaucrats huffing, puffing, and bloviating about all their grand ideas.
Who is going to be their Five Star leading this military fuster-cluck. Monty Montgomery comes to mind. 😁

LOL! My favorite. Way to go Jeff.
What WW3?
You feckless bass tards are pushing yourselves into a war and then expecting Uncle Sam and fix it, with very little cost to you.
Stop it.
You ain’t putting boots on the ground anywhere.
You can’t even tie your shoelaces...
Excellent. That’s a keeper for future reference. Thanks! 👍
Another Python Classic:
“A bloke was telling me, if you’re in the army and there’s a war you have to go and fight.”

You dumbass, arrogant Europeans, you’re too obtuse to realize that President Trump is attempting to save you from yourselves using a bit of tough love. And a European army lead by the French?
Going to be fun watching the euros coming up with 5% or more of their GDP to raise a military.

Yes but they was no NATO in WW1 or WW2 and we still got sucked in the European wars.
WW3 hasn’t happened because we held things in check
NATO is about to break apart because Europe want to start WW3 and we are trying to keep them in check
Perhaps their new LGBT / Islamic Army with 25 MBTs can bring back to Great British Empire? Where’s the Popcorn? 🍿
NATO should have dissolved in the mid-90’s before Albright and Clinton got us sucked into the Balkans, ultimately by the end of the decade, bombing a sovereign nation.
Agree! We can friendly observer status like Sweden did for decades.
Or not!
Now, end the UN.
Well played. The UN is full of them anyway...this will allow closer ‘coordination’.
