@jaykuo At least on paper, NATO isn't about defending interests but invaders to begin with. This is even more true when the US is attacking countries to "defend" its interests. And given the latest statements from WH, this defense includes the proactive killing of peer negotiators because of their assumed lack of honesty. This isn't what NATO was designed for. If your previous allies reject to help spreading your fascist BS any further, then having you pull out isn't as threatening as desired.
