General Discussion

I think it’s time for Europe to shoulder more of the responsibility for defending their own continent.
They have a vested interest. It’s been 80 years since WW2, and 35 years since the Cold War ended and the USSR folded. In that time, the number of NATO countries doubled to 32.
Serious question - why is the US such a major proportion? Status Quo? Don’t get me wrong - I understand Europe needed a guarantee from the US and Canada after the war, but decades later why is Europe relying so heavily on the US?
They should never be in a position where their basic can be threatened just because one member goes rogue.
