I Tend To Agree With Trump About NATO
For all of my 74 years NATO has been deemed a necessity to preventing a major global war during the Cold War era.
Since its inception in 1949 the NATO club has tripled its membership to include the very real threats to world peace by the very communist nations NATO was created to protect from.
Talk about foxes guarding the henhouse.
What is more alarming is the composition and funding of NATO is primarily by the US.
So if the US were to withdraw from NATO it would be a matter of months if not weeks before it would fold.
Without US troop, equipment and funding NATO would be nothing more than a paper tiger.
NATO consists of 31 countries basically plugged into the US “piggy bank” that are either not willing or physically able and depend largely on the US contingent to defend their sovereignty.
It’s like giving each one a key or pass code to OUR personal bank account!
Couple that with the weakening our own national security with this open border nonsense and it’s as if there is nobody minding the store.
Trump doesn’t look at the world through the eyes of a politician, but through the eyes of a businessman.
In that respect I fully support Trump’s decision to tentatively withdraw from NATO.
I favor pulling all US forces from overseas (not the way Biden withdrew from Afghanistan), but a measured and orderly return to defend US soil and sovereignty.
Might I suggest considering withdrawing from the UN and removing them from US soil (NYC) as well sir?
There was a time when US citizens were in trouble abroad the President dispatched a squad of US marines to take care of it.
The events of 9/11 changed everything.
The Wuhan Virus caused even more changes in how we view the world.
The migrant invasion of America is causing even more changes than we could even imagine.
It is the constitutional duty of the President and Congress to protect Americans at home and abroad.
It’s time for our government to do just that once again. – RTM
Good points, and I agree with all. NATO has outlived it’s usefulness, akin to the League of Nations, the ultimate boondoggle. Trump states the obvious that the other grownups are afraid to say.
