To be fair NATO is also strongly supported by its second largest military Turkey, a very stable country with no problems.

Yeah though, there needs to be more European defence co-operation that goes outside of NATO. The EU already covers mutual defence but that can be strengthened.

Did you know, for instance, that post-brexit the UK and EU have no formal defence pact? The UK has an existing one with Ireland and signed treaties with Sweden and Finland after Russia invaded Ukraine but thats it. It is mind boggling that they havent signed a formal defence agreement yet, given how many times Trump threatened to collapse NATO. Signing a defence agreement with the EU is an obvious win for an incoming Labour government.
