Senator Mike Lee and Elon Musk have called for the United States to consider dumping the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, also called the North Atlantic Alliance, NATO.

The House lawmaker had previously called the alliance which includes the United States and 31 other nations a “Cold War relic.”

According to the senator, the NATO alliance has to come to a halt, describing it as a “great deal for Europe,” but a “raw deal for America.”

Ending alliances that have stood for decades. This is simply an exit so America can side with dictators to take over other nations. We used to stand for the greater good of the planet. MAGA has ended that stance.

I know Trump is bad but let's not get ahead of ourselves. The reason that asshole is in office is partially because America refused to stand for the greater good of the planet, at least in the Middle East.

The disgusting reality is that these alliances will take decades to reinstate. Our reputation is circling the drain.

No, they haven't. Then outed themselves as ignorant traitors who are a vocal MINORITY. By the time we get things back on track, there's going to be a lot of dead MAGAts and want to be oligarchs and Christian nationals stripped of their citizenship, and their assets seized.
