#1 I wish VDH were right, but Georgia did bring the need for Nato sufficiently to the front that it will not be allowed to dissolve any more than it will be allowed to succeed. If The One were smart, he'd make it an issue.

#2 Europe has a greater combined population than the US and GDP. Has had since the 80s. However, it will not defend itself but will exploit the 'cultural' relation with America to continue pumping billions [trillions over generations] into their military welfare at the expense of the American taxpayer. And no one in the beltway is going to bluntly tell them to stuff it.

#4 NATO is a country club. All they do is get together, drink and talk about fluff and the old days. Not much use for anything else.
