Wow, where did that gay crap come from? It's no wonder you adore Zelensky.

Congress can end the war in Ukraine and win a Nobel Peace Prize by enacting a statute withdrawing the United States from NATO — transforming it from a mighty offensive oak into a tiny acorn unalarming to Russia.
As early as 1798, Congress nullified a defense treaty with France by statute. A congressional end to United States participation in NATO would be no constitutional novelty.
At the very latest, NATO became obsolete in 1991 when its raison d’etre — the Soviet Empire — dissolved. By remaining in NATO and spearheading its expansion to Russia’s borders with 30 members, the United States provoked President Vladimir Putin’s attack on Ukraine. It was poised to join NATO to fortify the encirclement of an already diminished Russia constituting a greater existential threat to it than the existential threat the Cuban missile crisis posed to the United States.

That wouldn’t actually end anything. NATO’s got nothing to do with it. Putin is just an expansionist.
Nevermind is correct.
Had NATO been shut down in 1991, had the West taken a friendly attitude toward Russia (as we did toward Germany and Japan after WW2), then Putin might not have seen any need "to REBUILD the Soviet Union."
250 years ago the world was a lot bigger. Foreign entanglements can no long be avoided in a world where nothing is more than 24 hours away from anything. The world is now entangled.
75-year-old toe-tapper says what?
CC, you do realize that one of President Trump's greatest accomplishments was whipping, "whip it good", NATO into (a) paying overdue bills; and (b) realigning NATO causes to make-nice towards US interests.
Why the f do you think NATO is so attractive NOW, to the point where Finland and notoriously-neutral Sweden want in.
Don't be like the Putlims, it won't end well.
"realigning NATO causes to make-nice towards US interests" is Neocon talk, not America First.
America First means no foreign aid. Europe, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Japan -- all are rich and can afford to pay 100% of their own defense.
isolationism doesn’t work
but despots like Russia and China appreciate your attempts to cast allies to the wolves
This is amusing in its total delusion and naivete
US neocons and the MIC waged war on Trump and are burning up trust in US government institutions and elections, because Trump merely said NATO countries should pay their own way and the US got involved in too many stupid wars
What would happen to any serious politicians proposing elimination of NATO? They would be eliminated within hours.
By funding NATO, America has in effect 25+ military bases in Europe.
Your bowels are entangled.
If 0bama can win a Nobel, anyone, including Congress or a Porta-John, can win a Nobel.
which country isn’t in NATO? - Ukraine
which country got invaded by Russia? - Ukraine
THAT’S why Sweden and Finland want to join, and that’s why NATO is *still* needed in the 21st Century
NATO should have been dissolved decades ago and the USA should also ditch the United Nations.
Oh you’re so clever. With your tiny little penis and massive unsupported ego.
Meanwhile my point stands. In a world where any minor event anywhere on the planet can effect America deeply isolationism is no longer possible. Anybody that thinks it is would be stupid enough to think saying something about someone’s bowels is worth a damn.
Hush foreigner.
Screw that.
Pure insanity.
Eisenhower even said something like if we are still here in 15 years we failed!
Such a Nobel Peace Prize would be worth about as much as the one awarded to Barack Hussein Obama.
