Most people (and hopefully you) enter relationships for mutual benefit at the very least.
Are these concepts your mongoloid brain can grasp?
The bottom line is: If Putin wants it, then it can't be a good thing. But isn't he your hero? You should go suck his nuts if you love him so much.

You're another one that talks but says nothing.
NATO was organized in 1949 for security over the Soviets due a series of events including Stalin's Atomic Bomb testing- and later, the 1950s Soviet Union and China treaty which contained other agreements including talks of Japans aggression. That turned out to be a big schmooze but, the East didn't know what was contained in that PRC / Soviet 'treaty' between Zedong and Stalin.
My point is, there is no more Cold War. With today's technology, there is no such thing as a secret meeting. If it's detected that troops are advancing, we'll know within minutes.
The United States is the 22 percent financial backbone of NATO-- as our NATO allies are paying NATO % rates based from 1952. If you do not see anything wrong with other NATO allies paying a 1952 rate, then you need to have your head examined.
Trump can't be bothered with NATO as Obama couldn't be bothered. Either Obama would sit and read his iPAD during NATO talks or he would let the U.S. Ambassador to NATO handle NATO.
The United States does not need to be involved in NATO just to keep a eye on Terrorist Cells (Who we already have Intel on) or loosing sleep because Putin may advance his troops.
Israel has already told the United States not to become involved with the Israel / Iran feud.
NATO, why ?
