⭐️French presidential candidate, Jean-Luc Mélenchon:
We will leave NATO. NATO is useless. It serves only one thing - putting us under American supervision.
Israel is the most dangerous country in the region today. It is Israel that attacks all its neighbors. It is Israel that starts wars. It is Israel that commits genocide. When I say Israel, I mean the Netanyahu government.

Breakdown of imperialist alliances is great, but I wonder how much this statement really means anything.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon is a trot/sucdem but he is fairly anti-imperialist (though I imagine he has shit takes of french colonialism) and has a reasonable shot at being president so him saying this is a good thing.
How can you be a trot or a social-democrat? That seems completely impossible.
You would think so but in Europe that's fairly common. A lot of former Trotskyists transitioned to social-democracy after 1989. Most "Euro-communist" parties today are socdems with Trot origins.
