I don’t see NATO as a drain on the US, but a bulwark to keep us out of another European conflict.

Trump had it going in a great direction, with pressure to have them spend more on defense.

If we would leave NATO, the pansy Euros would be so weak as to invite Putin to miscalculate and get us into another major European war. Make no mistake, we would save their bacon again.

Reagan....Peace through Strength.

I’m calling on Europe, specifically the EU to step up and put their money where their mouth is and to fund and staff that European Defense Force they’ve been threatening the US with this last decade.

Frankly, I could give a crap about Europe anyway, they’re already rabid leftist and fast becoming the Northern extension that Islam has always wanted. Enemies in the mid-east, enemies in Europe - same difference. There just aren’t any “American-like” ideals to share with Europe....

The Legislative and Executive branches of our government will still have to “do their paper work,” regardless of some scrub country in NATO “getting attacked.” International treaties are ambiguous but the US Constitution isn’t.
The United States doesn’t owe any country a security guarantee.

Yes, but are you willing to bet your life or the lives of a son or daughter that Pelosi, schumer and Biden will do what is best for America?
