Why Europe hates Trump more than Iran - Behind the sober public pronouncements from Brussels and national capitals, officials are seething. Time to disband NATO. If they hate us this much, what are we doing there?

War prevention. Allies are expensive, but wars are drastically more so. NATO has the capabilities to survive on it's own. The problem is that, if we leave, we instantly become an enemy to many countries who would no doubt attack locations we have interests in just to fuck with us.

No good would come from leaving.

It's like being an atheist living in a crappy religious town. You have to go to church so the neighbors don't egg your house. Sure, you could leave, but it cost so much money, it's cheaper to pay the church donation.

NATO is a tool for the US to control Europe.

A very, very expensive tool. If a cheaper solution is ever discovered NATO would be in trouble.

Propaganda is the another tool. Banks, the petrodollar, etc.

NATO should be disbanded, and everyone would save money. The Soviet boogeyman was a fraud.

The real reason it was formed was to control Europe. Operation Gladio (European domestic terrorism) was a NATO program.

NATO should be disbanded,

It really should, but it would have to be replaced with something.

everyone would save money.

Short term: Yes.

Long term: Not for America.

The real reason it was formed was to control Europe.

And it works better than doing nothing.

That's silly. Who's going to invade Europe? If they were concerned about Russia, they wouldn't have completed Nordstream 2. If they were concerned, they'd have credible militaries. They're not concerned, so why should we be?

NATO was formed to beat communism. We did it. It's 30 years out of date and serves no further purpose. Now it's just a vehicle for welfare as we defend them for free and get abused in return. Time to go our separate ways.

Commies lost their country 30 years ago and if remnant Russia is a problem then it's their problem, not ours.

USA out of NATO.
