>This would give Germany a mutual assistance clause with both of Europe’s nuclear powers, in line with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s desire to strengthen the continent’s deterrent separately from the U.S.
>While the treaty will likely reaffirm the commitment of both nations to NATO as the cornerstone of their collective defense, the clause’s inclusion underlines the push for European allies to work more closely on security as the U.S. pulls back from the transatlantic defense alliance.
This mutual defence clause seems entirely redundant given that, even without the US, Article 5 of the NATO treaty can still be put into effect. Article 5 acts very similar to a “Coalition of the Willing” type of mutual defence except it involves 32 countries instead of just 2.

Oh, if only we could show these headlines to people in the 1910s, 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s. I’d love to see their faces.
