[00:00:27]A political bombshell has exploded inside Europe's war alliance.

[00:00:32]French firebrand leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon has vowed that if he becomes president, France will break away from North Atlantic Treaty Organization, triggering fears of a historic fracture inside the Western block as tensions with Russia continue to rise.

[00:00:52]In a direct attack on Washington's dominance, Mélenchon declared that NATO exists only to place France under the tutelage of the United States.

[00:01:02]The explosive statement strikes at the heart of America's control over Europe's security system at a time when NATO is rapidly expanding its military footprint across the continent.

[00:01:17]If I am president, France will leave NATO.

[00:01:20]NATO serves only one purpose, to place us [music] under the tutelage of the United States.

[00:01:26]Keeping our distance from NATO is France's historic line.

[00:01:30]We drove the American bases out of our country.

[00:01:33]Before Mr. Sarkozy in 2007, no one had thought of reintegrating the integrated command of NATO.

[00:01:39]We will proceed in stages. We will start by exiting the integrated command >> [music] >> and by distancing ourselves from all shared equipment with the American army.

[00:01:49]Invoking the legacy of former French president Charles de Gaulle, Mélenchon praised France's 1966 withdrawal from NATO's integrated military command and the expulsion of American bases from French soil.

[00:02:06]He accused former President Nicolas Sarkozy of surrendering French strategic independence by dragging Paris back into NATO's command structure in 2007.

[00:02:18]Mélenchon said the divorce from NATO would happen step by step.

[00:02:23]France would first leave the alliance's integrated command before [music] cutting military interoperability and shared defense systems with the US military.

[00:02:35]The shock waves are enormous because France is no ordinary NATO member. It is a nuclear power, a permanent UN Security Council member, and one of Europe's military giants.

[00:02:47]A French rupture with NATO [music] could unleash the biggest crisis inside the Western alliance in decades.
