Imagine...

The US representative at NATO rises to request a vote "allowing" the United States to withdraw from NATO.

And is surprised when the other delegations deliver a standing ovation.

"Wait," the US rep says. "These are our demands..."

"All in favor?"

"AYE!" The walls of the chamber reverberate.
