Maybe my grandmother had a “love affair” with NATO. But she died in 1977

As far as I am concerned the only countries/areas the US should be protecting and insuring remain free are Canada, Mexico and the Pacific around Hawaii.
Protecting trade routes within X miles if CONUS for imports and exports is okay.
This crap of financing alliances, defending third world sh!t holes that won’t defend themselves and buying friends has got to stop,
You’re either with US or against US.

Now that the Soviet Union has fallen, we need to ask what the purpose of NATO is.

Is it just an anti-Russian alliance?

If so, you can understand why Russia was concerned with NATO slowly expanding eastward.

We might say “NATO would never attack Russia”, but Russia has a long history of being attacked by its neighbors to the west. I don’t just mean WWI & WWII, I mean going back hundreds of years. It has happened over and over and over again. It’s not surprising they are paranoid about it.

What percentage of Americans, under 40, know what NATO is?
What percentage can name the majority of countries in NATO?

What? Borrowing money from China to fund NATO is not a good idea?

NATO was obsolete when the Soviet Union fell apart. The core purpose disappeared. That was 30 years ago - a generation.

The US needs to ‘graduate’ from NATO, retain some emeritus status, and let the Europeans manage the organization.

This would disengage the US from direct involvement with Europe’s quarrels and allow the US and the Europeans to negotiate with China and Russia one a one on one basis.

I’ve been saying we should pull back and bring the troops home since the early 1990s.
