Could NATO Survive If The U.S. Withdraws?



VOA: Could NATO Survive without US Support?

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is seeking ways to save NATO if the United States decides to cut back on its support for the alliance.

European leaders are not sure what to expect under the new U.S. administration.

President Donald Trump has questioned the future of the 67-year-old alliance, calling it “obsolete.”

Trump accused European nations of not paying their fair share to support NATO operations. In addition, he has said the alliance has not been used effectively to fight terrorism.

On Thursday, British Prime Minister Theresa May said she believes NATO should continue guaranteeing the security of Europe. But she thinks the alliance needs to be reformed.

WNU Editor: Of course NATO would survive without U.S. support .... but it will be a shell of its former self, and it will not be able to sustain military operations over any long period of time.

Can NATO survive Euro-socialists a.k.a. liberals spending 1% of GDP on Defense?

Can NATO survive Euro-socialists a.k.a. liberals cost shifting the defense burden to the U.S. & Britain?

Can NATO survive Euro-socialists a.k.a. liberals like Hollande, the liberal who never married yet has 4 children and 3 mistresses?

When I see how Europe is hardly handling even small problem I have some doubt. Who is the boss in Europe? Europe is only a big bureaucracy responsible of nothing.
I remember Europe, with 2 nuclear power (France and GB), had to call America's help for making war against the small country of Yugoslavia... Sad

Europe could not even handle the Yugoslav civil war (1991-2001).

Maastricht Treaty (1992–2007) establish the European Union.

We thought that there is no overseas logistics. It is right next to Austria and Italy. Simples. :)

We thought it is literally in their back yard. Let them take care of it.

Europe made a hash of it. We were on the wrong side. Bubba Clinton should have stuck to his bimbos and his victims.

The central command of NATO is only made by U.S. officials.
NATO cannot survive without USA.

And I hope this barbaric alliance end soon.
Many in Europe are tired of it, not only the radical left.
