Agree. Eisenhower was correct that we should leave NATO and have all US military out of Europe in ten years. We have been the world’s policeman too long.
Agree also. Europe is long past recovering from WW2.
We have been financing both their security and welfare state.
Time to go.
We are on the eve of a possible Russian and Chinese world war and we are the primary targets. Not Ukraine. Not anybody else. All Chinese and Russkie nukes are aimed at us, nobody else, and that has always been true.
And it’s not because we’re eeevil imperialists. It’s not because somebody wanted Ukraine to be in NATO. It’s not because of any bullshit any of these countries say: it’s because these are terrorist regimes and we—even with all our faults—are the one thing standing in the way of Russian and Chinese world hegemony.
Leaving NATO doesn’t help the US. It hurts us because it means France and the UK would have no reason to fire retaliatory nuclear strikes against Russia and China if we were the victim of a surprise first strike.
It hurts us because it means we would have no forces whatsoever in Europe with which to retaliate against Russian and Chinese aggression.
We’d be alone and isolated. Which is why the shutting down of NATO has been a long term strategy of international communism for decades, even till today.
WAy way way too long.
