it's even worse than that kane. i'm not a NATO expert but I've been prepping a bit for this week since I knew it would be the current outraged at xxx topic. here's the thing, eu NATO countries can't even get organized as a cohesive bloc on NATO, organizationally or strategically. While Ukraine was a wake up on Ruskie aggression and they all finally started spending money on their militaries then, they've yet to organize as a unit. they most likely never will because the union is imploding.
i'll dig up some articles and post them, but yeah, let's withdraw from NATO. we've been drawing down toops pretty significantly is my understanding as well. that's what I thought this topic was about, our decreased commitment over time to NATO.
