Post 1992 NATO is Eisenhower’s worst MICC nightmare come true.
Eisenhower supported NATO expansion by promoting German rearmament, the creation of the Bundeswehr, under NATO, against French opposition. He wanted the Euros to become responsible for their own defense.
Longer term that didnt quite work because of the Euro demands for social welfare spending. And THAT was largely necessary to counter Soviet subversion, to keep pro-Soviet parties from making Euro countries neutrals. Its forgotten today how powerful communist parties were in postwar Europe. The Soviets fought their holy war on many levels.
That danger faded (but never went away), when Europe generally achieved an incontestibly superior public standard of living vis a vis the Eastern bloc.
