We need to get out of NATO. We can create a new alliance if it's needed, but NATO has too many useless countries in it that increase our chances of war that's not in our best interest. It's insane to allow tiny countries near Russia into an alliance where they significantly increase the chances for war, while bringing next to nothing to the fight in the event of war. It's just stupid.

We might as well garrison the Maginot Line as maintain this obsolete, expensive, purposeless liability.
