Taxpayers Fund Foreign Wars

Suddenly, Leaving NATO is on the Table—And It’s About Time

EDITOR'S NOTES

For decades, Ron Paul has been one of the few voices in Washington willing to call out NATO for what it is—a bloated, outdated, and dangerous relic of the Cold War. Now, with influential figures like Elon Musk and prominent lawmakers echoing his warnings, the question isn’t if but when America will finally sever its ties with this costly and counterproductive alliance. This article expands on Dr. Paul’s arguments, exposing the truth about NATO, its betrayal of American interests, and why leaving could be the most strategic geopolitical move in modern history.

The NATO Scam—And Why the U.S. Keeps Paying for It

Have you ever wondered why the United States foots the bill for an alliance that increasingly works against its interests? Ron Paul has been sounding the alarm for years: NATO has outlived its original purpose. Created in 1949 as a deterrent to Soviet aggression, NATO should have disbanded the moment the Berlin Wall fell. Instead, it morphed into a tool for globalist war hawks and military-industrial profiteers to drag America into endless conflicts.

Consider this: the U.S. funds 70% of NATO’s budget while European members barely contribute their fair share. What do we get in return? Backstabbing allies who undermine peace efforts, commit the U.S. to reckless military engagements, and push policies that benefit European elites while American taxpayers are left holding the bag.

Ron Paul has long argued that NATO’s survival depends on keeping America locked in a cycle of perpetual war. Every attempt to break free is met with resistance from globalist institutions that thrive on conflict.

Trump’s America-First Vision vs. NATO’s War Agenda

When President Trump first suggested withdrawing from NATO, the establishment panicked. Why? Because NATO is not just a military alliance—it’s a power structure that keeps Washington’s war machine running.

Dr. Paul has pointed out that NATO stopped being a defensive alliance decades ago. It has become an expansionist force, pushing unnecessary conflicts and inflaming tensions with Russia. The war in Ukraine is just the latest example. Instead of de-escalating, NATO members have fueled the fire with billions in weapons, ignoring diplomatic solutions.

When Trump attempted diplomatic dialogue with Russia, NATO allies mocked and sabotaged those efforts. Just this past week, as Trump and Putin opened backchannel discussions in Saudi Arabia to de-escalate tensions, NATO leaders convened a counter-summit in Paris. Their message? War must continue—because without war, NATO has no reason to exist.

And that’s the real game here. They need perpetual conflict to justify their bloated budgets, endless arms deals, and ever-expanding influence.

The Corrupt Web of NATO, the UN, and the Globalists

NATO isn’t alone in this scheme. As Ron Paul has consistently warned, it’s part of a broader globalist network that includes the United Nations, the World Economic Forum, and other supranational entities designed to erode U.S. sovereignty.

Elon Musk’s statement—"I agree"—to leaving NATO and the UN wasn’t just a casual tweet. It was a declaration of war against the unelected bureaucrats who profit from keeping America entangled in foreign conflicts.

And it’s not just Musk. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) and Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) have publicly voiced their support for leaving NATO, calling it a “Cold War relic” that should be displayed in a museum rather than dictating U.S. foreign policy.

What Happens If the U.S. Leaves NATO?

Let’s game this out. If the U.S. exits NATO, here’s what happens:

  1. Europe Pays Its Own Way – NATO members would finally be forced to fund their own defense instead of relying on American military might. No more free rides for Germany, France, and the rest of the welfare-state nations that refuse to invest in their own security.
  2. The U.S. Saves Billions – Withdrawing from NATO would slash U.S. military expenditures, allowing those funds to be redirected toward actual national security concerns—like securing the southern border or revitalizing American industry.
  3. A Path to Peace with Russia Opens – Without NATO’s constant provocations, U.S.-Russia relations could finally shift toward cooperation instead of conflict. This would de-escalate global tensions and remove one of the biggest excuses for endless defense spending.
  4. The Globalist War Machine Loses Power – NATO, the UN, and their network of war profiteers thrive on American involvement. If the U.S. steps away, their influence crumbles, and with it, the financial incentives for perpetual war.

Final Thoughts: It’s Time to Cut the Cord

Ron Paul was right all along. Leaving NATO isn’t just an option—it’s a necessity. The alliance has long outlived its usefulness, and in today’s world, it serves only to drain American resources while fueling conflicts that don’t serve our national interest.

If Trump follows through on this vision in his second term, we could witness one of the most radical shifts in U.S. foreign policy since World War II. And frankly, it’s long overdue.

The globalists fear one thing above all: an America that prioritizes its own people over foreign entanglements. It’s time to turn that fear into reality.
