Apparently, Darren J. Beattie considers NATO to be a greater threat to the U.S. than the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Respectfully, I disagree with such a preposterous assertion. Archive: archive.ph/yMZza

Can any American explain to me what the hell is going on right now? Going after allies in this incredibly aggressive way was not on my bingo card for Trump's new term.
The sheer lack of basic international relations education in a person dealing withโ€ฆ international relations! Did he never understand the idea of โ€œEurope as post-WW2 buffer zone protecting the US?โ€ And it worked for 76 years. What was before NATO & during isolationism? This๐Ÿ‘‡

My God. This is like Christmas morning wrapped in Halloween, ensconced by wicked awesome boobies. It cannot get any more delightful than this.
Your rage is going to your brain. Slow down when you make posts, otherwise you say retarded shit like, โ€œMeet the new acting Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacyโ€.

I'd say the new ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ administration might be the biggest threat to global security right now.
I don't think people realize how much NATO has helped our militaries It's an amazing achievement of cooperation between nations and it shows with more nations wanting to join or develop partnerships with the alliance as a whole
Putin cheering Russian disinformation assets. Somewhere along the line Rubio evolved, not sure what happened but whatever it was it wasn't good.

So Rubio was supposed to be a sane one. Based on appointments and his recent rhetoric he is just another minion. This administration is just an enemy regime, through and through
Marco Rubio is every bit as awful a Trump toady betraying his country as I expected.

For Spain over 200 casualties, 102 deaths, over 4B spent in Afghanistan, a place we couldn't care less about, after the US called for Article 5. And now, this? I can't understand the pressure we received in the 70's and 80's to join NATO and abandon our nuclear weapons program
Oh! Cool! Pick me! Pick me! ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿค“ Ground rules of the debate: (1) It has to stay in the realm of reality, (2) Must adhere to Aristotelian rules of logic, and (3) Whoever says the word 'Nazi' in an ad hominem retort, first, automatically loses.

That's an "unpopular claim" because it's nonsense, gibberish, bullshit, bogus, and false. ๐Ÿ‘ NATO was *there* for USA after 9/11, it wasn't its fault that OBL was a lunatic in exactly the "right" cave in Afghanistan or that Saddam was not AQ, or even an Islamist for that matter.
I'm glad you Americans are willing to undermine decades of soft power and alliances system by your own hand.
"The statement as it stands does not hold when considering the broader context of threats to American interests, where the CCP's actions are seen as more directly challenging to U.S. global standing and security"
I am quite sure he doesnโ€™t know what the initials NATO stands for or who are actually signatories to the treaty.
Turkey is a NATO state. Turkey has invaded and taken over Syria in a bid to reinstate the Ottoman empire, and also plan to attempt to eradicate the state of Israel. This would be the start of a very dangerous domino fall for the West. So yeah, he's right.
