It's always the same argument every time this topic gets discussed. It's either - "OMG! The US is pulling out of NATO altogether.... GASP!!" or it's the unchanged status quo. NO!!! There is a middle ground in there more vast than the ocean that divides us and that's where the answer lies. NATO was formed as a way to defend Europe against Soviet aggression and it was decided that the US would assume the lead role because at the time, it was the only nation that could do so. Europe was in ruins. But no one said that Europe; which has a combined GDP larger than the US, has to be America's dependent forever. The war has been over for eighty years, it's time for Europe to grow the f*ck up and start pulling its weight! And since it's never going to do that unless it's forced to do so, a bit of less than subtle coercion from America is in order. Cough up, Europe! We're not your f*cking sugar daddy!
