European leaders have called for greater unity and military cooperation across the continent in response to comments from Donald Trump that threatened to undermine the basis of Nato.

Donald Tusk, Poland’s prime minister, said on a visit to Paris on Monday that there was “no alternative” to the EU and the transatlantic alliance before a summit in which he discussed deepening defence relationships with the French president, Emmanuel Macron.

“It is probably here in Paris that the words from The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas resonate most clearly: ‘All for one, and one for all,’” said Tusk, in a thinly veiled riposte to the former US president and frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination.

    A vote for a 3rd party is not a vote for whoever you don’t like. You must see how that logic is flawed.

      It’s not whoever I don’t like. It’s that “vote third party” is a conservative talking point used to bait liberals into wasting their votes. Because conservatives are already really good at presenting a unified front and consolidating votes, so the talking point only truly affects one side of the political spectrum.

      As a former 3rd party voter; it’s a wasted vote. I don’t like either parties but voting 3rd party favors the GOP in US elections. Now that the GOP is full steam ahead on facism, voting 3rd party is dangerous. Hopefully more municipalities, states, and national elections will migrate to ranked choice voting to make voting for other parties a viable option. Until then, I’d rather not vote for the party that wants a dictatorship.
