We are treaty obligated to protect far flung countries, at enormous risk to ourselves.
If Russia was stupid enough to take the Baltics, we would be treaty bound to engage existential war over friggin' Latvia. And the are multiple other countries where we have no real interests whatsoever that we are similarly obligated.
US out of NATO.
“Trump Seeks a Return to Power”
Nope. No bias there.
Hilarious. The Slimes is worried about NATO when Trump returns to the White House.
Good. As well they should worry.
I know many military members who would love to see our bases in Europe all closed or given to the host nation. Right or not, that’s what they want.
Good! It’s a worthless tripwire organization.
So what & who cares.
Hilarious.
People like Maggie Haberman have been foaming at the mouth about NATO for 70 years. They never liked it threatening the Sacred Soviet Socialist State where everyone was “equal”.
Now she’s worried it’ll go away? Just because DJT says ante up?
Both Britian and France have nuclear weapons. Europe can defend itself. Does it want to? That question is legitimate because it is allowing itself to be invaded by an enemy that it has struggled against for centuries.
Donald Trump has made it clear that he sees NATO as a drain on U.S. resources by freeloaders. He has held that view for at least a quarter-century.

That’s just one of the many things to like about him!
Ohnoes!
Just as The NATO is beating The Putin, The Trump will put all that in jeopardy!!
Considering how the eurotards insult us so much, this is hilarious.
Would that withdrawal also include withdrawing from the IMF, WHO, and most importantly, evicting the UN and expelling all the diplomats from the US?
If so, then I’m voting early and often.
Reports are saying that the UN is helping these people crash out borders. Would love to see them all forced to leave NYC for Europe or Africa. Hell, maybe even China. Where they can be spied on non-stop by the CCP.
Kind of arrogant of them. After all who is paying the bills?
I have always said that we should stay in the UN and NATO as long as it benefits us and allows us to influence world politics. As long as we are getting our money’s worth.
I’d say to them... go ahead, make my day. Time for Europe to be on their own if they don’t appreciate us. Good luck with Russia.
God willing, yes.

NATO is nothing but a full employment program for European bureaucrats and a hog trough for the defense industry. The ussr collapsed and Warsaw Pact ever 30 years ago.
I do not think Trump will exit NATO but he will make them contribute their fair share and not be dependent on enemies for energy etc.
Neither was created to defend against the country that no longer exists.
Pretty funny that they’re even still around.
To hell with the UN and NATO!
At the end of WWII Europe was a shambles, the industrial base destroyed. The USA was standing tall with great power in every aspect. The USA essentially rebuilt Europe, friend and enemy, and in doing so formed NATO for mutual protection. Europe grew and industrially became a competitor of their benefactor. The US fell behind because they were operating older, worn-out factories whereas Europe had new ones. And our wise leadership (sc) decided we were not to be a manufacturing nation any longer and began sending our companies away - everywhere.
But NATO turned into a good military force, but good because it was US-centric. Our leadership, equipment and armed forces - and our funding.
If you have a child and fail to make him/her take responsibility for their lives, moving out of home and making a life for themselves, they remain a child at age 40. They have the wherewithal to provide for themselves now. They are big boys. Instead of a solid line relationship we can have a dotted line relationship.
That’s what has happened to NATO. They are still sucking off the US tit!!!! They need to be weaned off.
The best job in the world is to be a NATO civilian bureaucrat. Not much work, great pay, housing subsidies, near diplomatic status, free trips back home, no income tax [unless the US-IRS is involved], live the life of Riley in great places in Europe.
....so long as you never need a resume that suggests you did something and so long as you never have an urge to try to accomplish something beyond racking up notches on your belt for racking up fellow staff members of the opposite [or same sex or whatever sex they pretend to be]. Hunter would have been at home except that however good the pay and benefits for normal folks it would not sustain his life cycle and certainly not with cuts for the big guy.
