Nato chief says Trump remarks may put US and EU lives at risk

Lmao no shit the guy who's job it is to shill nato talks up nato. But over in reality, it's insane to think that Americans are are greater risk leaving nato than staying in. We withdraw, we still have the largest and most capable military on earth, and can easily defend ourselves, especially considering that the US is naturally defensible. Nato, in the other hand, is far more likely to drag us into some moronic European conflict where we actually have to out American lives at risk

The EU doesn't want to pay for NATO, that is why they don't like Trump. NATO is the US. It is a US institution. The quid pro quo is that the EU has no independent foreign policy, instead it follows American foreign policy. NATO foreign policy is American foreign policy. Germany in reality does not support the war, but they have too if they want to maintain US security benefits, that is the only thing that is unifying Europe. Europeans like the US paying for their defense, while the US likes the influence over Europe. Basically, whatever you hear from a European NATO member, it is usually a US talking point.
