Get out!! It has no purpose but global governing of your life. Russia has 145,000,000 population. We have 345,000,000 We need them as ally against China. Socialist loved communist Russia— now they use Russia as a bogus boogie man against Trump ( but fail) . Get out of NATO!
NATO should have declared victory, and disbanded when the Soviet Union fell 27 years ago.
Its become another permanent bureaucracy and deep state power-control tool. By backstopping their defense, the USA is also subsidizing European leftist, multi-cult and social-engineering schemes.
The Soviet threat was secondary.
Rethink NATO?
We should give notice that we’re out, no matter what, in 10 years.
When NATO expanded to countries like Romania and Bulgaria it lost me and most thinking people. When there were allusions to bringing in Georgia and Ukraine they should have lost all Americans.
Sheer insanity.
Yeah, lets have a nuclear war because Russia reclaims Ukraine and/or Georgia./s
NATO is a subsidiary of what Eisenhower called the “Military Industrial Complex” to keep conflicts going worldwide and to insure the profit margin on the war manufacturing machinery.
We don’t need to think anymore. It’s time to leave. It sucks our wealth & is not needed.
“At Age 70, Time to Rethink NATO”
I’ll get back to you next year.
The U.S. didn’t join NATO to protect Europe from the Soviets. We joined NATO to protect Europe from Germany.
OMG! I’m older than NATO!
We should have withdrawn when the Cold War ended in 1991. NATO is the Anglo-Saxons + the Poles and a whole bunch of useless leaches - the Germans foremost amongst them.
We know we cannot count on them. The threat the alliance was intended to stop no longer exists. Withdraw. Bring the Boys Home.
There is no NATO. There is simply the USA and a whole lot of european countries who like a mercenary military that they pay practically nothing for.

Who can keep up with everyone who’s been turning 70?
NATO: April 4, 1949 - 5 Nissan 5709
Spies to Jericho (1273 BCE)
Two days before the conclusion of the thirty-day mourning period following the passing of Moses on Adar 7 (see Jewish History for the 7th of Nissan), Joshua dispatched two scouts—Caleb and Pinchas—across the Jordan River to Jericho, to gather intelligence in preparation of the Israelites’ battle with the first city in their conquest of the Holy Land. In Jericho, they were assisted and hidden by Rahab, a woman who lived inside the city walls. (Rahab later married Joshua).

At Age 70, Time to Rethink NATO
You think?
With fun friends like Turkey in the alliance, and the US carrying much of the bill to operate it, you know it’s time for a review.
