NATO is a hyper-complex house of cards. Its arrogant and stupid DC neocons attempting to play “Game of Thrones” when they can’t even tie their own shoes.
It should have been disbanded in 1991, with simple mutual defense treaties signed between US, Germany and UK.
Whatever this tit-for-tat stuff about burning Qurans and fighter upgrades are just noise created by cracks and whole thing crumbling.
Agreed. We didn't need NATO in 1991. But Vladimir Putin will use a different argument. Instead of NATO, he'll accuse Ukraine of trying to join the EU and he would do the same thing today.
