There is absolutely no justification for our continued membership in NATO.

The enemy has already taken over. There’s nothing to defend. I think we should keep our money. Frick NATO.

Tucker and Piers are both wrong. NATO didn't cause Russia to invade Ukraine and Ukraine being a NATO member wouldn't have prevented the Russian invasion. This is a war of geography and economics, not politics.

NATO is just US paying for Europe's defense. They don't do shite for their own defense and their certainly don't do anything for ours. We could/should be using the money we spend on NATO for our own borders.


NATO are parasites and it's time to cut them off.

It is in our interest to keep NATO strong.
They’ve provided boots on the ground to augment our forces when needed.
And we are not supporting their social programs. That’s utter propaganda and fiction…

NATO is nothing more than a massive money laundering scheme that takes from us the U.S. taxpayer.

Wrong, Nato starts more wars then ever prevented... Nato in theory is a good thing but we americans agreed to bribe the Euro's so we could do whatever we wanted in Europe and around the world with their consent or they would turn a blindeye... JMO

bullshite. The original, charter mission of NATO no longer exists. They are more than capable of paying for their own collective defense. Every cent we spend on their protection is money they don't have to and can redirect to give away welfare programs. Not sure how you can argue otherwise.

To top it off, until The Donald stepped up, they were fricking us with trade deals and tariffs.

LOL, I can’t laugh at this enough. Most of European country’s militaries are a joke. There is maybe France and England. That’s about it. Absolute trash military forces. They aren’t augmenting shite without the threat of US forces. They spend next to nothing on their military in most of these countries so this allows them to have massive social programs. It’s not hard to follow the logic.

It is fascinating to see the number of people who do not understand the definition of "money laundering," and who nonetheless insist upon trying to use the term on a daily basis.
