Comment on Instead of everyone leaving NATO, could everyone else just kick the US out?

  Because the most upvoted one thinks NATO is a good thing, but since one unreliable country cannot be kicked out, it should be replaced with another alliance with slight changes. This comment just says NATO BAD.

    NATO is bad tho, because it allows the US to draw other countries into our imperialist wars and allows its members to threaten non-members with reletive impunity.

    To quote Blinken “If you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu”. A NATO without America could be benign tho.

      It wouldn’t make sense and nothing militaristic can be considered benign.

      I wouldn’t say it’s that bad. NATO is only defensive, so other members have no obligation to join US wars. I admit, NATO conditions can be used to pressure members, but since everyone is hating attack on Iran or Venezuela, the influence isn’t that big. And sometimes the members fight even against each other in proxy wars, for example US vs Turkey in Syria.
