The United States, along with Turkey, is the “grave digger of NATO”, since they have been taking advantage of the alliance exclusively for their own benefit, believes Bundestag deputy and Foreign Policy representative of the parliamentary group Die Linke (The Left) Alexander Neu.
"Until recently, the United States exclusively pursued its own interests, including through NATO, and for several years now, we've witnessed Turkey doing the same... NATO is eroding, and I can only welcome it", Neu said.
The Neu statement comes almost a week after French President Emmanuel Macron called NATO brain-dead, referring to a lack of coordination and US unpredictability under President Donald Trump, Sputnik International reports.
However, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, along with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, berated Macron for his “drastic words” and argued that NATO must remain a key pillar of Germany's security.
Nonetheless, the dramatically-worded statement by the French President echoed calls made by Macron and Merkel last year that the EU should have a “real European army” independent of the United States and NATO, to be able to defend itself from perceived threats.

If b92 kindly permits me I would like to add some evidence to Drasko claiming rep Serbia responsible for an ethnic cleansing in kosovo*
A live TV programme showed no evidence of ethnic cleansing by Serbia at all.
The day NATO forces begun to bomb kosovo* a mass of people were running from NATO bombing.
UK reputable news paper run a front cover saying:1939 or 1999.
In UK shortly after I have met many of siptari and Albanians that switched their nationality claiming a refugee status Pretending to be from kosovo*
A further investigation shows kla are the ones to ethnically cleanse Serbs, Roma. As in kosovo *they are the minority.
KLA, NATO, and Albanians from, Albania are the ones who ethnically cleansed others.
So Drasko I am not uneducated and not the one that anyone could brain wash and change my mind.
Say UK we're on your side but their TV showed kla war criminals.

Why are all the Serbs pretending to be Brits?

Just don't ask me why I'm pretending to be an American! Though I must say that Prokuplje is a critical place regarding the Service revolt against the Turks.

@ drasko
Yours are some heavy accusations. Wrongful, unwaranted.
Simply I do not know a single Serb like that capable of doing to own people nor others.
But in the 90's repeatedly I saw war crimes committed to the Serb population by croatians and by siptari.
To elderly people and to their farm animals.
This was 24 hour news - live programme.
I saw a colon of people on the foot én route from Croatia to Serbia. I speak as I find.
Serbs are blameless.
(British, 20 November 2019 15:44)
I am not joking.
NATO Mr Stoltenberg is to travel to Paris to sort out Mr Macron for saying "NATO is brain dead" And anyone "British" for saying his NATO had eroded.
I am off to Serbia to seek a refuge in Mr Vucic new park bench.
I might run into the trouble Stoltenberg is born in BG.
So my getaway may not work for long.

Drasko, I do wonder who you really are. Your comment is classic Albanian, Nato, and western crap.
Its amazing how only one side is brutal and loses some sort of moral right, bla, bla, bla.
There is a huge ethnic Hungarian population in N Serbia. There are also many Roma in Serbia. Can you tell us why Belgrade only had a problem with Albanians in Kosovo? Is it possibly because the Albanians have been trying to steal Kosovo for generations? Can you tell us for what purpose was the kla formed? And didn't they form the kla years before Belgrade sent in their forces? Who started this war? Who needed the war? Who paid US lobby firms to promote propaganda? Who paid Eliot Engel, Bob Dole and others millions of $. All these bribes were paid BEFORE Serbia sent in forces.
So stop with lies, twisting truth and propaganda.

British,
Even I, as a Serb, understand why Serbia was bombed. Whether a country is sovereign or not, it cannot brutalize its own citizens by means of ethnic cleansing, burning of their homes, and rape and murder of its people. Serbia, by these actions, lost its right to rule over the Albanians of Kosovo. Therefore, Serbia, morally and legally, lost Kosovo.

Could it be because they are Brits as well as Serbs? I think that might be it.

I can't see that opinion of some German parliamentarian is relevant in any way. Why would we care what he thinks?
We have our own opinion about NATO.
And not just about NATO...why would we care what he thinks about anything?

This is because I am the British. In fact I am the new Serbian only since 2012!
Which means I am also something else. Figure that out.
Isn't that annoying? All I can say at Serbian border passport control officer is openly surprised with my name, surname and makes a little jump,or head gesture. OMG who do we have here!

The foundation for an EU army are laid down in a few rather unknown and ambiguously written articles of the Lisbon Treaty. It can mean anything from disaster relief, to combating terrorism to a full blown army. It is all there.

NATO eroding. NATO had eroded.
Ever since bombing rep Serbia&Kim, Montenegro without the UN approval. Acting against the sovreign country and its people.
Taking a wrong side.
It can never RIP.
(British, 18 November 2019 18:13)
By bombing rep Serbia&Kim, Montenegro without UN permission
NATO had screwed up itself. That was a day, decisive.
When they decided to take a wrong side and go against sovreign COUNTRY and support criminals.Eroding, eroded
NATO IN MEMORIUM

And to put it into perspective, Neu is a member of the Linkspartei... You know, the party who ruled and ruined East Germany for so many years and who changed their name twice after reunification.
