The airstrikes we led, or the permanent mission we installed?

IDGAF if Nato gets involved in this conflict or not. However, air space should not be closed in NATO countries to the USA no matter what

To counter the Eastern block countries / Soviet Union, which effectively collapsed in the early 90’s.

Yes, and thereby prevent war in Europe.
Yes, the USSR collapsed.
What are the negatives to remaining in NATO? In what way is it a detriment?

Only Congress can withdraw us.

The Soviet Eastern Block collapsed and yet NATO kept on expanding Eastward . If you’re standing in Moscow, there’s only one way you can see this. And it’s overtly hostile.

We are NATO.
Europe is a dying old man.

Bc it’s not a free membership. At least not for us. And our western “allies” are so afraid of the third world mason they’ve imported that they won’t even assist in an operation that benefits all.

Moscow isn’t threatened by NATO, at all. I’m sorry that you are dumb enough to believe that.

How are so many of you so unbelievably ignorant?
That number is OUR OWN DOMESTIC DEFENSE SPENDING. We spend that money whether we’re in NATO or not.

No, correlation does not equal causation.
Moscow’s abject fear is the EU and economic factors. They aren’t scared of NATO invading from Estonia.

Even if he does, the next non-MAGA POTUS will get back in NATO.

NATO was not formed to invade the USSR.
It was formed to keep USSR from invading.
Has Russia fricked with the Baltics since they joined NATO?

Thinks defense spending is “NATO funding”.
That makes you a very dumb person FWIW.

Well, I was taught by you after all. You’ve taught us that NATO costs us nothing. That’s news to everyone on earth, but it’s good news.
