The Coming Defeat of NATO
3rd October 2015
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, established in 1949, has 28 members devoted to the idea of collective security. Prediction: By the time President Obama leaves office in 2017, the NATO pledge of mutual defense in response to aggression will have been exposed as worthless. Objectively the alliance will have ceased to exist. The culprits? Vladimir Putin—and Barack Obama.
Color me indifferent. The reason for NATO went away once Communism disintegrated in Eastern Europe. All it does now is make Russia feel threatened, and drag the U.S. into situations that are none of our business, and allow Eurotrash to piggyback on our defense spending so they can use their budgets to buy votes through social programs. I see a lot of pain and not much gain by continuing NATO.
