Topic: Ron Paul: ‘NATO’s an Entangling Alliance We’d Be Better Off Without’ - page 2. (Read 1211 times)

The US does way more for NATO and the UN than they do for it.

We're damned if we do and damned if we don't every single time, so I'd say fuck it to both.

If we want to get involved in a given situation because it impacts our interests or we can see the overwhelming need to stave off some crazy domino like disaster, then fine, otherwise what good does it do the US to have mini powers lined up for what is basically moral support?  As events in the Middle East have shown, there is absolutely zero benefit for us, while we get to play world cop at the expense of a shitload of money, while these other countries get to diddle on the sidelines waiting for daddy to come along and clean up their backyard and then turn and bitch after the fact.

I've seen enough of this shit.  Screw NATO.  Screw the UN.

You want our help?  Ask for it.  Pay for it.  And STFU at the hell the US Army, Marines et al unleash at your request because the rest of the world is seemingly unable to handle the heavy lifting without our help the majority of the time.  It ain't a fuckin' bake sale they're bringing to town so know what you're getting when you pick up that phone.

no more usa, the only way is that there is no more American, you stayed, you are guilty.

Here Ron Paul is actually putting the cart before the horse, when he says "And I think NATO is part of the reason we go into Libya, into Syria, now in Ukraine." But he is right in saying that "It’s really not checking in with the American people whether it’s a good idea or not".

Remember how Startfor's director Friedman referenced to NATO as a hampering organisation that US would be better without, when deciding where to get involved.

NATO is a military alliance which was created in order to counter the Warsaw Pact. The cold war is over and Warsaw Pact is defunct. Now it is time to dissolve NATO, for the sake of world peace.

Speaking Monday on the Alan Colmes Show, Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity Chairman Ron Paul discussed the danger the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) poses to peace.

Paul explains his reasoning for shutting down NATO in response to a query from Colmes:
Colmes: You also believe NATO should be shut down at this point, correct?

Paul: Yeah, NATO for me is one of those entangling alliances that our Founders suggested we not get involved in. And, you know, Robert Taft was from the Old Right, which was more libertarian. Under the circumstances following World War II, he advised us not to get into NATO because it would invite more problems. And I think NATO is part of the reason we go into Libya, into Syria, now in Ukraine. And that’s all under NATO, It’s really not checking in with the American people whether it’s a good idea or not. I think that NATO’s an entangling alliance that we would be better off without.

Listen below to the complete 12 minute interview, in which Paul also addresses matters including neoconservatives’ efforts to block an Iran nuclear agreement, US involvement in the Ukraine coup and ongoing conflict, naval buildup near Yemen, opening up of trade between Cuba and America, and serious economic problems in America:
