YouTube Description
as posted by the channel“I do not think the European Union will survive if they continue to run after Donald Trump, to continue to have this relationship inside NATO. I don't believe in NATO 3.0 — it’s a theft machine, it's a war machine, it's a crazy king machine.”
Belgian MP and leader of the Workers’ Party of Belgium Peter Mertens joins BT Live to wrap the NATO arms fair in Ankara, the annual “ritual flattering of the king” that generated $50 billion in weapons contracts and more soundbites of European leaders bootlicking Trump than Mertens can shake a stick at. But resistance across Europe is growing — and with it, political crisis — as more voters reject austerity and demand investment in public welfare not warfare. Converging crises and working-class rage: Will Europe as we know it survive the messy, violent, potentially prolonged death throes of crumbling empire?
