I'm sure that there are politicians for nearly every little thing that you may think of. But the question is how much they count.

And under a hypothetical situtation where Russia began annexing large parts of Eastern Europe Europe, I don't think it would be worth one american dollar to fight against it. We allowed the Tibetians to be taken over by the Chinese, so how would this be any different? I don't understand the poitn of NATO.
I see that we might agree on something. At least in that the U.S. should keep its hands out of Europe. Of course we don't agree in the terms in which you put things, which looks as if the U.S. was generously giving that money away. When in fact what it is doing is spending money in invasive policies with the hope to win more.

Not you but your corrupt governemnts are.
I don't have any problem with that statement, providing that you don't have any problem with admitting that the government of the U.S. of America is rotten and corrupted as no other. Starting with the fact that a politician to be elected needs to invest huge sums, which are paid largely by lobby associations (e.g. AIPAC) in return for the defense of their particular interests.

Don't tell me, tell your corrupt governments. The ones who are staying in NATO without fuffiling its obligations. Whether you think NATO is being unfair is a totally different issue. If you're in it, then you do what it asks you to do.
And what about you telling your corrupt government to stop fabricating stories to sell NATO?
