as for europe, absolutely. let's get out of there as well. nato doesn't need us. after all, it's not like we want bases in foreign countries to have jump-off points if they were needed. it's purely to waste money. and supply lines? bah, who needs 'em?

Nobody said that the South Koreans can't get armed and defend themselves. They've had about 60 years to do that, and unlike when we defended them the first time, they make all the steel, not us.
NATO's original purpose was to counteract the Warsaw Pact alliance backed by the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union is no more. Modern day Russia is not expansionistic. The Warsaw Pact is dissolved. Some of the original members of the Pact have actually joined NATO. So why are we still supporting (and spending on) it?
