APP - it is time to disband NATO

[Don Quixote]

given that nato was created to oppose the soviet block

given that the soviet block no longer exists

then nato is no longer needed and should be disbanded

ps this would save the u s of a a lot of money

 

[Minister of Truth]

Naw, unlike, say, the UN, NATO actually can help promote peace throughout the world...

throughout the world you say...not just the north atlantic states

the only putative communist nation of consequence is china and they are no threat to nato, however, iraq and afghanistan are sources of terrorism - like pakistan, ymen, syria etc.

more of a united nations problem than a nato problem

why should the u s of a pay to be the world's policeman while other nations benefit without paying...
