NATO should be wound down. I think there are 33 member countries, whom basically rely on America for defense. Too much, especially considering main threat is now in the east, China. Europe can have their own military agreements at this point. Just not a fan of America picking up the defense costs of Europe so they can be socialists and look down on us.

NATO should be downgraded to a "friendship" agreement, if there's a such thing at all.

Then E.U. can develop a rapid reaction army to defends its border and stand up to increasingly assertive Russia because Americans are going to stay in its backyard this time.

NATO is a JOKE. Its a huge bureaucracy, about as nimble, united and effective as the United Nations. AND they now have 33 "trip wires" set throughout Europe. All the risk and no real security. Sheer stupidity.

In 1991, NATO, if it survived, should have been pared down to Germany, USA, & UK (and maybe France). That's all. Instead, they have created the Detroit department of motor vehicles in Brussels. But maybe that was the globalist intent. IDK.

And yes, we ARE driving a European Russia into the arms of China. More stupidity.
