No one will deny the importance of NATO, in which I am a strong believer. However, times have been changing rapidly, and not for the best.
It is crucial to send a strong signal that attacking one of the EU member states means being at war with the entire EU! Just like it is impossible to attack one of the US states without being at war with the entire USA. Try to attack any of the 50 states and Washington will react immediately without waiting for any decision from NATO.
Our military defense needs to be restructured in a more centralized way and each member state must pay its part in proportion to its economic volume.
Enemies must realize they are not facing a Polish, German, French, or Lithuanian army. They will face the EU army if they attack us!
I strongly promote cooperation with our US ally, but it must be based on equality. Not us depending on America like a child depending on the parent.
