NATO is really just the US and the Brits, with a few token forces from the rest. The NATO Charter says "An attack on one, is an attack on all", but looking at it in reality, it is only a something that will drag the US into conflict.

George Washington's warning about foreign entanglements is aptly applicable and should be heeded.

Nato is a totally outdated relict of the cold war. Should have been scraped years ago instead of this total useless never ending “enlargement”.

"The NATO Charter says "An attack on one, is an attack on all", but looking at it in reality, it is only a something that will drag the US into conflict."

Precisely.

NATO should have died before it's 50th birthday.

The very concept of NATO "An attack on one, is an attack on us all", is a way of softening the concept of national sovereignty.

One of the definitions of national sovereignty is the definition and defense of one's own country's borders. Now we're supposed to accept and treat an attack on Norway exactly as though it is an attack on US soil? That's nonsense! Unless we run Norway's government, there's no way we should defend their soil as precious as our own.

NATO is a globalist tool and should be disbanded.
