It’s past time that the US should start thinking about severing ties with NATO. It was created to deal with the problem of a war ravaged Europe facing a messianic revolutionary power. That situation no longer exists and NATO now is the ultimate entangling alliance that George Washington warned us about.

The founders sent the U. S. Navy to Africa. We have always had “foreign entanglements”.
NATO has worked pretty good the last 60 years. It’s foolish to discard it cavalierly in the face of fascistic aggression.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization was created in 1949 by the United States, Canada, and several Western European nations to provide collective security against the Soviet Union.
The Soviet Union ceased to exist in 1992 - 22 years ago. Why does NATO still exist?
Ahead of the reunification of Germany in 1990, there was a promise not to expand NATO eastward. The West did everything it could to give to M.Gorbatchev the impression that NATO membership was out of the question for countries like Poland, Hungary or Czechoslovakia. Why did NATO break its promise?
Really? I haven't seen NATO get us into trouble lately. It's more a club to keep up relations with Europe in case some new threat arises somewhere in the world. If some new menace develops, we shouldn't have to recreate connections and alliances all over again from scratch.
You have to balance the dangers of isolationism against those of interventionism. Retreating from involvement in foreign affairs after WWI may likely have helped make WWII possible. (I know there's the argument that our involvement in WWI itself made WWII possible, but that's the kind of clever argument that dodges the point of what we should do if a real threat to world peace does arise somewhere).
