[Nato members] may be honorable, but they're mostly useless. They've depended on the USA to spend all the money, and to wield all the sticks, for decades.

Non-US Nato members had service members and others die in Afghanistan and Iraq, among many other things. Sep 11 remains the only time Article 5 has been invoked by any NATO member.

The USA also reaped unimaginable wealth from the alliance and the security it provided.

I suspect you'll all find business as usual, flawed as it was, was actually far preferable to the path you're leading down.
