NATO has become America's instrument in escalating our dangerous conflict with Russia. We need less NATO, not more. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization was founded in 1949 as a way for American troops to protect a war-shattered Europe from Stalin's Soviet Union. Today Europe is quite capable of shaping and paying for its own security, but NATO's structure remains unchanged. The United States still pays nearly three-quarters of its budget. That no longer makes sense ... Russia threatens none of America's vital interests. On the contrary, it shares our eagerness to fight global terror, control nuclear threats, and confront other urgent challenges to global security. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "serbia" group.
