The European states are our most vital allies. To abandon NATO would be to abandon Europe. The U.S. can not face the geopolitical challenges of the 21st century alone.

 @9FMBRM3 from Idaho agreed…7mos7MO

I agree because Europe is the first line of defense against Russian aggression, and abandoning them will facilitate the take over of those nations. In terms of China, NATO provides an additional incentive for the CCP to not attack the USA

 @9FMF5VHfrom Maine agreed…7mos7MO

The US, and the world at large, benefits from close and friendly international relations. Democratic nations should always look out for each others's interests, especially with authoritarian governments rising in prominence. NATO is essential for US and European relations, its a pact of confidence and trust. Pulling out of NATO would send a message of disintrest and apathy, and would lead to losing the good faith that European nations have put in the US.

 @9GFVGXKLibertarianfrom Guam agreed…6mos6MO

Authoritarian growing powers, such as Russia and China, which seek to dominate their respective regions and expand their power and influence in the region, and the wide reach of NATO provides a source of stability and security for North America and Western Europe, as well as providing a framework and a general sense of values which unite NATO members and allow for common goals.

 @TheDesideriusRepublicanagreed…6mos6MO

NATO should remain in its current form, but it should not admit any new member states. The organisation should similarly demand that all nations part of it should meet the expected defence spending of 2% of their GDP.

 @9LNYCXR from West Virginia agreed…5 days5D

Number of NATO countries invaded (yet): 0
Number of European (and Eurasian)countries not in NATO invaded by Russia alone: more than 0

 @9JDCRYJ from Ohio disagreed…3mos3MO

Nato was formed to counter the Soviet Union and the expansion of Communism. With the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 and little to none Communist countries remaining, there is no reason for Nato to stay around.

 @9HY42SDDemocrat from Michigan disagreed…4mos4MO

I feel like the NATO is a mother definition for something that you need and not something you just want but also can mean an argument .

 @9HQL7LYRepublican from New Hampshire disagreed…4mos4MO

nato you need every vote to say yes so if there is a major issue regarding a country in NATO they will vote no on their country so nothing gets done

 @9JWX2QMLibertarian from Colorado disagreed…2mos2MO

The reason the United States should withdrawal from NATO is because if one country in Europe gets invaded then we are all dragged into a war nobody wants to fight.

 @9GNQ7BDRepublican from California disagreed…6mos6MO

It causes more war and problems on a global level without caring about the people on the local level .

 @9GMVXFH  from California agreed…6mos6MO

NATO allows easy access to the global stage for the US and the American army, giving the US the ability to have a say anywhere on the globe. Why should we sacrifice that ability? Critics of NATO often aren’t anti-military spending. China has a larger standing army than America, yet dwarfs in comparison to political power. This is large in part to the mass security guarantees that the US provides, and that China does not.

 @9GJLKGF from California agreed…6mos6MO

We haven't had a war on Western European or US soil since WWII. The strength of NATO hindered the USSR to invade Western Europe and thus starting WWIII. Today, we are in a similar situation.

 @9G9H3NX from Iowa disagreed…6mos6MO

That they should make more of the people go out and help the others and give them a permit on their stuff.

 @9FVL424 from Illinois agreed…7mos7MO

NATO is an important multilateral decision-making organization that has expanded outside of its initial goals of countering the Soviet Union.

 @9GX92RP from Texas agreed…5mos5MO

Consensus decision-making means that there is no voting at NATO. Consultations take place until a decision that is acceptable to all is reached. Sometimes

 @9GP77V6 from Georgia agreed…6mos6MO

I think that now more than ever, America is at risk of being attacked. I believe that by leaving NATO, we leave ourselves as a sitting duck without our allies.

 @9F898CKIndependent from Ohio agreed…7mos7MO

The United States shouldn't continue subsidizing European welfare states of NATO members who do not meet the 2% contribution threshold while we run massive deficits.

 @9FLPPPNDemocrat from California agreed…7mos7MO

If the United States separated from NATO, we would easily be attacked by a foreign country without the defense of NATO. This would cause many wars without the help of other countries.
