I think our access to NATO bases has a lot to do with it. Logistical considerations are extremely important for us as they have been for military operations over the centuries.

That said, we cannot afford to carry countries that can carry themselves. The agreements have to be mutually beneficial and fair. If they won’t step up, we should step away by decreasing our financial support.

If what we need those NATO bases for is to defend NATO then pulling out kind of ends that need, doesn't it?

What financial support other than troops do we provide?
