Senator Mike Lee suggested that the United States withdraw from NATO. He sees the alliance as a financial burden and an entanglement not serving current U.S. interests. The EU spent only 1.6% of the GDP on defense.
Lee wrote on X: “It’s time for the U.S. to leave NATO.”
He commented after German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said he found Vice President Vance’s speech at the Munich Security Conference “unacceptable.”
The speech was great.
Vance strongly criticized the authoritarianism consuming the EU over censorship, migration policies, and their lack of seriousness about their own defense.
The EU doesn’t even know how far it has slipped from the values it once shared with the United States.
I can’t say whether we should leave or not, but I will say that none of them can hold their weight, and they won’t even pay their fair share. The only army that can defend its country is unreliable Turkey.
They no longer share our values.
It’s time for the U.S. to leave NATO

Agreed! NATO was formed to protect a broken, shattered Europe from the predations of Russia and to bind France and Germany into a situation where they were dependent upon each other. That is no longer the case.
Europe can and must defend itself. The United States is not a European nation and, while we need to guard against a resurgent threat from the East, we no longer need to be “on point.”
If it all goes to hell, call us.
I agree completely, especially considering England and Germany tried their best to get us into yet, another world war with Russia. That is totally unacceptable.
And the UN.
Sorry, Einstein, but without NATO, the US is not the world’s superpower and the dollar is not the world’s reserve currency and our allies would dump us and go elsewhere and the US would have to spend even more on defense to make up for the loss of allies and overseas bases and the EU would become like Russia and communist China. It would be the ‘own goal’ of all time.
It is for certain that our adversaries would love to see NATO dismantled.
NATO was the Opposing Force to the Warsaw Pact of the USSR & Eastern European Communist Gov Countries. The “Iron Curtain fell during the Bush I presidency….. but NATO Continues ….. to fight in Iraq & Afghanistan ??? Pretty FAR from the North Atlantic and Original Purpose of NATO.
We/Me/You must Recognize TRUTH ; NeoCons were/are the Deep Statists of democRats & rinoRats District of Criminals USSA Empire.
The Question before Us is; Can Our republic Be Restored??? Can President Trump Do it ??? The Enemies of MAGA are the Globalist NWO Sludge of DC.
MAGA is the Last Chance to Correct the Feral Gov. imo. Time waits for no one, Carpe Diem.
I agree with Sen. Lee. F NATO.
Without the United States there is no NATO.
In WWI and WWII, the world depended on the U.S. to bail out them out against the bad guys. Eighty years later, nothing has changed. It’s time for these countries to take charge of their own security and not depend on the U.S. They could start by spending more and upgrading their military.

Damn Straight!!! Let’s get the hell out of that nightmare. Let’s also get out of the Middle East too!! Or as I always say:
F$%K NATO
F@#K The EU
F$#K The Middle East
F$#K The UN
Vance’s speech was horrendous. All it did was alienate our allies and embolden Putin.
It’s Time for the U.S. to Leave NATO…………….Yuuuuuuuuuup. Time for them to put on their big boy pants and suck it up buttercups. We have our own house to tend to. They have become exactly what we saved them from, TWICE.
We don’t have to leave NATO, they left NATO, when they forsook their values. I guess you’re all in for the UN taking over, because that’s what would happen without NATO.
That’s what happened to begin with, nato countries, including the US were infultrated by the UN under the uǝpᴉq and ɐɯɐqo adminstration’s watch.
Your 1st sentence does Not automatically Lead to your 2nd sentence.
Don’t care either way. The UN is garbage also. Maybe they need to pull up their big boy pants.
NATO has become the punk kid swaggering around and starting fights expecting his big brother is going to step in, settle their ashes, and save their butts. Growtfu…you pick a fight…you fight it…or figure out how to live together…WITHOUT USAID’s further interference.
“They no longer share our values.” M. Dowling.
That really is the bottom line. Too many Europeans, east and west, live with fears of each other from long ago wars. We can’t be dragged in by their phobias. (Tulsi gets it and will be great as DNI)
Nah!, NATO is, when it’s being used appropriately, an allied force to be reckoned with. It is supposed to be a coalition of christian countries.
our definitions differ. Few NATO countries today are “Christian” and most no longer really follow and support Judeo/Christian ethics.
If anything, it’s like Vance said, he set them straight. They’ve gone astray from their values.
