France’s Macron says NATO experiencing ‘brain death’
PARIS, Nov 7, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – French President Emmanuel Macron says he
believes NATO is undergoing “brain death,” lamenting a lack of coordination
between Europe and the United States and aggressive actions in Syria by key
member Turkey, in an interview published Thursday.
“What we are currently experiencing is the brain death of NATO,” Macron
told the Economist magazine in an interview.
“You have no coordination whatsoever of strategic decision-making between
the United States and its NATO allies. None. You have an uncoordinated
aggressive action by another NATO ally, Turkey, in an area where our
interests are at stake,” he added.
