No, you actually haven't answered anything to my satisfaction, nor have you asked any informed questions.I haven't heard anyone give any reasonable explanations as to how abandoning NATO increases our security or in any way advances American interests and influence.Mmm so, trying to put everything on me and with a made up goal post of your own?
We are committed by the NATO treaty to go to war with Russia, a nation of 140 million people with 5,000 nuclear warheads, over Estonia a nation of barely a million people, a quarter of them Russian.
A nation right on Russia's border, with all the advantages that would give Russia in the case of a war.
So, please tell me, if you can, either why my fear of that scenario is unfounded,
or perhaps why such a war would be in the best interests of American.
The strategic alternative to THAT is to NOT go to war with Russia, unless the vital interests of the United States are threatened.
We would NOT be treaty bound to go to war with Russia on the other side of the world.
Not if they invaded Estonia, not if Turkey fired on Russian military forces and started a war.
That is a huge reduction in risk and thus increased security.
Note how I keep answering your questions and points, but you are unable to answer mine.
You asked how abandoning NATO increases our security.
I pointed out that it removes a treaty obligation to go to war with Russia (risking a nuclear holocaust).
That is a pretty good answer.
YOu have failed to address it.
As is common with you.
And then you lied and said that I had NOT been answering anything.
I've also asked a number of good or "informed" questions, which you have ignored and lied about.

So if I understand your logic correctly: Withdraw American power and influence from global responsibilities, allow expansionist dictatorships to dictate terms to everyone, and just hope they don't want more. Does that about sum it up?
All you are doing is ignoring my answers to your questions to re post your strawmen.
You seem incapable of any actually honest discussion on the topic.
