What's your thoughts on the U.S. leaving Nato.

Personally, I'm fine with it.

You mean America's flex organization with Europe?

If that would end their meddling into the affairs around the world, that'd be great news.

It leaves some massive gaps for invasion.

It would be dumb as ♥♥♥♥, but in tune with Trump's isolationist politics, so I wouldn't be surprised.

There's a big price for isolationism.

The USA are not going to leave NATO.
No NATO country is going to leave NATO or try to expel the USA.

Without the USA, NATO doesn't last a second before nations start squabbling. And that's before we even get to the point of checking the capabilities of national armies (Germany for example, is only 50% ready for a fight, with a grand total of 8 brigades and it's supposed to be the backbone of its military might).

The USA will however demand that NATO countries finally uphold their end of the bargain and start contributing to the alliance, instead of just mooching off the USA.
And every single NATO country will moan a bit, then jump straight up and comply with the request.

How is the US going to demand that without putting pressure? And the only pressure it has, is to threaten to leave NATO.

As a UK citizen, the US should leave. It'll force us and Europe to strengthen ourselves and not rely on crayon eating americans.

If that the case, I wonder why Europe is so angry then?
edit-leave the crayons out of this. Thems are tasty.

"From this day onward, if a country is attacked and that country has failed to meet the minimum requirement agreed upon in the treaty of 2% of their GDP being spent on national defense, the USA will have no choice but to refuse any call to action in consequence of a treaty that was broken by someone else"

There, suddenly every NATO nation has every interest in achieving that target or risk being left to dry under the sun.
Just by stopping ignoring the fact that others are not keeping their end of the bargain, the USA have all the powers to compel them to do exactly that.

Amazing. Europe should also leave NATO and ally up with Russia instead, to drive out all the LGBTQ propaganda nonsense and leftism.

I was talking about the United States losing that blanketed coastal protection on the Eastern border.

The real problem no one is seeing which surprises me is how Han Chinese thinks that they are the only ethnicity that should be inhabiting Earth (similar to the Nazi point-of-view).
