Get out of NATO? That is a long term goal of the Soviet Union and present day Russia. The UK might not support us in starting a war. But the UK will support us if a NATO member is attacked. That is the purpose of NATO in the first place.

Poll: Willingness to defend allies from attack low in some NATO states
I thought he might be some kind of fierce Weekly Standard neo-con, but you may be right.
Or mebbe we’re both wrong. Here’s some of his stuff. http://thehill.com/search/site/Bernie%20Quigley
The only reason Russia is our enemy now is that NATO decided that Russia was still our enemy and acted accordingly.
Quite frankly between the multiculturalist anti-Christian secularizing bureaucrats in Brussels whose main concern seems to be the health of the European banking industry and a resurgence of the traditional Russian cooperation between the state and the Orthodox Church, I’m going to side with the latter.
At some point in the near future, the thing that will matter most is that America and Russia are both Christian nations. Unless Western Europe has a revival, they won’t be much help.
Do not do what you're opponent wants you to do. That's true in poker, in chess, and in international politics.
Having said that, NATO certainly needs reformed. America cannot, and should not, be doing all of the heavy lifting.
If western Europe actually solidly freedom-leaning and not turning into the EUSSR then I would want NATO to stay.
Right now it’s starting to resemble the alliance that Germany had with Austria-Hungary where they found themselves “shackled to a corpse” when war came.
NATO needs to redefine their mission, and instead of making Europe safe for Muslims, it needs to get back to focusing on Russia.
LOL, Quigley may be a GOP plant, but that would be the worst thing you could say about him.
Bernie is a loyalist to the traditional Republican Party, (not necessarily the GOP-E ruling class scum) he is a self described conservative, and fits the older, non Neo Con description, is a big Palin supporter (a plus), and also a Romney supporter (older loyalist).
Bernie seems to some Anglophile orientation lately, and he probably doesn't like George Soros or Kosovar Albanians, so I understand your fear of him.
Near enough, the Observer is an extremely left wing rag.
