I think it should be. In fact we could have a eu army replacing it.
Trump wanted a change to this deal.

Poland has contributed more than any other country due to the real threat of Russian incursion, thus proving that NATO is needed as much today as in 1949.

Funny how that works ay'
No worries though, I'm used to it by now. It's cool.
yet ,Ukraine is NOT a member of NATO.
Answers on a postage stamp please.
Militarily and economically, the U.S. is a hugely formidable power. It has the largest nuclear arsenal on earth and continues to be the largest economy in the world. Yet, without its allies in Asia, and above all without those in Europe, the U.S would be a much diminished superpower. For instance, most Western countries purchase their arms and military equipment from the U.S.and that could possibly be diminished if the U.S pulls out of NATO under Trump.
By the way Sweden became NATO's 32nd Ally on 7 March 2024.

Who originally proposed NATO?
In May of 1948, Republican Senator Arthur H. Vandenburg proposed a resolution suggesting that the President seek a security treaty with Western Europe that would adhere to the United Nations charter but exist outside of the Security Council where the Soviet Union held veto power.
That 's an extremely selfish attitude about cost cutting when one compares the size of America to the rest of Europe.We are all struggling at the moment in case you haven't noticed.No thanks to our dear friend Putin of course.

Just to name a few:-
Have you forgotten 911 and the war your country started in Afghanistan Who did you call Blockbusters? No you called in us Brits.
Who started the war in Iraq? Who helped you out, Europe.
You don't keep us as your own economy is in crisis and you only just avoided a recession in 2023 so I'd go easy on all those takeaways if I were you.

Are you saying the USA should never have pulled Englands butt out of the fire in WWI and WWI. the USA probably never should have loaned money to England to rebuild after the WWII or given England a 60 year term to pay it back. England defaulted on loans to the USA for WWI only to finish paying their WWI debt in 2015. God Bless America....

The debt was to be paid off in 50 annual repayments commencing in 1950. Some of these loans were only paid off in the early 21st century. On 31 December 2006, Britain made a final payment of about $83m (£45.5m) to the US and about $23.6m to Canada.
You didn't pull England's butt out of the fire in World War 2 The whole of Europe was involved or have you conveniently forgotten about Italy and Mussolini who allied himself with Germany.
On December 7, 1941, Japan staged a surprise attack on Pearl Harbour, decimating the US Pacific Fleet. When Germany and Italy declared war on the United States days later, America found itself in a global war.
Carry on with your lauding of the U.S.A your adopted country,but for goodness sake give it a rest on attacking the U.K in almost every blog you post .
Some people need to take their blinkers off.

the one most vital thing which England did contribute to the war effort in WWII was the intelligence, Special Operations Executive (SOE)
As far as the axis goes my first generation born here dad served in the U.S. 82nd airborne div and fought the fascists in Italy and later was reassigned to the U.S. first army and fought in Belgium before being injured. Italians did many things to help the U.S. war effort including keeping the Eastern shores protected.

"It was formed to buttress Western Europe against the Soviet threat after World War II and its first leader was Dwight D. Eisenhower before he was elected to the White House," he told Newsweek.
the reason for NATO has long past and Russia has not been aggressive towards NATO.
Negotiations is the best solution for Peace, not NATO.
Not surprisingly, I agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene on the USA getting out of NATO.
I’m sure most countries in the world would contribute to the wall.
Isolation can have some good benefits.
I genuinely believe there would be world peace if the US no longer existed.
Your efforts to gain attention is comical...it seems you have a limited education background...not just in schooling but in life...I wonder if you ever traveled out of the USA or perhaps just in areas that cater to some who like all inclusive trips with the notion that they keep the locals out...
