I think I need a refresher course on why we Americans should be OK with our time, effort, and money being spent on NATO.
Europe is increasingly hostile to individual liberty, freedom of speech, and religion. Its governments seem to be waging war on its own culture and people with insane immigration policies and deference to overtly hostile and contradictory ideologies (islam). It is squelching the democracy by imposing the EU on its people, forfeiting national sovereignties to the Orwellian nightmare that is Brussels. It doesn’t carry its weight anywhere where the military is involved. Indeed, it doesn’t even seem interested in defending itself. It offloads responsibility for that to America, never missing an opportunity to poke America in the eye in the process.
I served in the military during the Cold War and was proud to support NATO. But that was then. It’d a different world now. Why should I want to make it safe for the European political class to wage its suicidal war on Western civilization and values?
Just what are we Americans ‘defending’ anyway?
