Again... if your objective is to lose influence over the world stage, then have at it. I don't think it's a good idea with Russia, China, NK, and Iran would be running the show otherwise.

And where does your "not a problem for me, it's your problem" attitude end? How many levels down are you willing to go?
Get rid of NATO? "Because that's a problem for Brussels, not for the US"
Get rid of America? "Because that's a problem for California, not for Florida"
Get rid of State governments? "Because that's a problem for X county, not Y county"
Get rid of county governments? "Because that's a problem for X city, not Y city"

You just can't answer my question that's all.

NATO is an Alliance, agreed upon it's member states and ratified (i.e. signed). If you don't believe the other parties signatures, then the agreement is not in force. As simple as that.

How much longer can even the GOP support this guy? He is literally doing evrything Putin would want his Manchurian Candidate to do. Man up GOP. Either you support our country or a man like Trump trying to destroy everything we've built over the last half century.
Who says that the Ron Paul Revolution is dead?

The Revolution, took over the Republican Party, did it not?
Now, the Democrats are the Warhawks. Where is Sally Sheehan when you need her?
Those Bush years were just hypocrites.

Global Cabal v. We The People
You getting the picture now?

Why do you want to be in NATO? Is it because the NYT told you to think this?
The Ron Paul Revolution isn't dead!

Ask a relevant question and I'll give you an answer. If you think honoring an agreement I might make with someone to clean my swimming pool is comparable to NATO, you're further gone than I thought.

Somehow you turned a military alliance agreement into someone cleaning my swimming pool agreement. You've gone off the rails.

Try again. What's the whole point of a military alliance anyways? Waste money cleaning each other's swimming pools?

The USA is not to be in Military alliances. Trade, yes. War, No. You end up buying your friends.


We were to be friends to all, enemies to none.... Until attacked.
