Get out of NATO? That is a long term goal of the Soviet Union and present day Russia. The UK might not support us in starting a war. But the UK will support us if a NATO member is attacked. That is the purpose of NATO in the first place.
This writer may be a Russkie plant.
The fact that we have trip-wire security guarantees with 28 nations, with such stalwarts as Albania, shows that NATO is simply security theater.
it also allows Europe to pretend it doesn’t need to spend any money on defense.
its a very dangerous arrangement.
NATO should have been wound-down in 1992, replacing it with bilateral agreements with Germany and England only.
Couldn’t hurt.. Nato and the eruo look like sick pigs to me.
A while back Nigel Farage spoke about NATO funding and who paid for the bulk of it and it wasn’t pretty. He said the USA pays some 30% of the costs in money and material.
“If in 10 years, all American troops stationed in Europe for national defense purposes have not been returned to the United States, then this whole project will have failed,”
Getting out of the UN interests me more.
This is the part that resonates with me:
Ditch NATO.
Consider instead a new core commitment; a new starting place for the century and the millennium: The defense of America, the United Kingdom and the Anglosphere – Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the U.S. – for a reality-based, tradition-based perspective.
This is our first circle of defense. This is who we are. We should defend it and start to look outward from there
Let’s face it. NATO is the U.S. and a token amount of other nation’s members. I don’t know what NATO was doing in Libya but what a mess that turned out to be.
