UK’s Jeremy Corbyn wished NATO never existed

2019-12-04

Of course. NATO would constrain his government to do things he doesn’t want to do, not do things he desires, and spend money on the military. Here’s hoping Labour gets so few votes they disappear from Parliament.

[ALMASDARNEWS] Jeremy Corbyn, current leader of the UK Labour Party, claimed in a 2014 video that he wished NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis....
and other Western military alliances did not exist.

The footage has been publicized just in time for the United Kingdom to host a major NATO summit this week, bringing together world leaders, including US President Donald Trump

...the Nailer of NAFTA...
.

The footage, reportedly from 2014, shows Corbyn, flanked by Labour candidates Catherine West and David Lammy, saying: "I am no fan of NATO, indeed I wish NATO didn’t exist. I am no fan of Western military alliances, indeed I wish they didn’t exist", The Daily Mail reported Tuesday.

Last month, Corbyn reportedly refused to call the NATO alliance a great military success during an interview. Asked if he agreed with the chief of defence staff, Nick Carter, on the latter’s description of NATO as being the "most successful military alliance in history", Corbyn replied: "I’m not sure I’d define it as that", according to the Daily Mail.

#6 I bet Corbyn wished NATO didn't exist back in the old days. Then he might be running things on behalf of his beloved Soviets.

#5 I'm glad it existed but wish it died in 1990 after the Soviet Union collapsed.

#2 I wish NATO would stop existing. It's a gigantic payment from the US to wealthy First World nations and serves no other purpose today than to enable military adventures.

#1 One of these days we'll find out he wishes England never existed.
