It’s Time to Get Out of NATO
I remember during the 2016 campaign, when Donald Trump hinted that he might be willing to bring an end to NATO. I confess that I was still a Neocon at the time, and I was simply shocked. I viewed NATO as absolutely essential to our defense.
Looking back, I had no good reason to believe it. My only explanation for the view that I held at the time was that I had been careless, and had accepted the propaganda that I had been told my entire life. Ironically, I wasn’t exactly ignorant. I was a diligent student of history. The problem was that I knew so many things that weren’t so.
