France is a valuable American ally and one of the few NATO members that bolster both the alliance’s conventional and nuclear war-fighting capabilities. But President Emmanuel Macron offered true hypocrisy this week when he blamed the United States for supposedly undermining NATO’s credibility.

Speaking to the Economist, Macron said that the world is experiencing “the brain death of NATO.” This is thanks to President Trump, Macron says, and because NATO member Turkey is running amok in Syria. As Macron put it, NATO “only works if the guarantor of last resort functions as such. I’d argue that we should reassess the reality of what NATO is in the light of the commitment of the United States.” Pushed on whether he believes the alliance’s Article 5, which requires allies to aid an attacked ally that triggers the article, Macron said, “I don’t know.” Macron says the European Union must step into the breach to defend the international order.
