YES! We should no longer be the anchor and Sugar Daddy for NATO! NATO has outlived its mission! and to continue it, and especially to keep expanding it, is destabilizing to relations with Russia, which is not the old USSR. We stepped up to help Western Europe build themselves back up against the threat of the USSR after WW II. Whatever Russia is, it is NOT the USSR that NATO was created to protect Western Europe from.

I was a Cold War Warrior, and the threat from the USSR was real, and deterred only by the strength and commitment of the USA and our forces on the ground, including me and my company! OK Reagan and the missile program, and Thatcher and the Pope had big roles in bringing down the USSR, along with its own internal inconsistencies.

We WON the Cold War! And had the cuts in defense spending because of it. "On the spending side, Clinton took advantage of the “peace dividend” that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union to reduce defense spending from 4.3% of GDP in 1993 to 2.9% by 2000."

We no longer need to prop up NATO, a military-industrial complex with no clear mission -- which is a dangerous thing and could trigger a war.
