Prominent GOP Senator Calls For U.S. To Exit NATO

Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) is calling for the United States to withdraw from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) as several European nations continue to reject President Trump’s calls for peace in Ukraine.

In a series of X posts, Lee pointed to the lopsided U.S. investment in the alliance, lack of free speech in Europe and a desire from several European governments to escalate the War in Ukraine rather than back a peace treaty. “Get us out of NATO,” Lee said in response to statistics showing that more than 70 percent of NATO funding comes from the United States.

“It’s not us. It’s them,” Lee said in response to a post noting that several European countries, such as Germany and the U.K., have draconian “hate speech” laws under which citizens are jailed for innocuous political statements or opposition to mass third-world immigration. “Time to leave NATO,” Lee concluded.

The graphic is very misleading. That "spending" in our case isn't just NATO spending. It is our total military spending which is far beyond just NATO. Our spending has to deal with the Pacific/Asia and southern hemisphere. So in short, we don't pay anywhere near 70% of NATOs costs. It is more like 17%.

I tend to believe Putin never abandoned his USSR mindset. Not to be trusted.
If we stay in NATO, Europe must be more reasonable in how much they spend on defense.
