Ending NATO

LP national suggests that the US pull out of NATO. An analysis is provided.

"The Libertarian Party advocates for a foreign policy rooted in non-interventionism, respect for sovereignty, and the protection of individual rights. We call upon the U.S. government to withdraw from entanglements that compromise these principles and to pursue diplomatic avenues that uphold justice and liberty for all peoples." LNC 2/7/25

After WWII, the new world order was to respect sovereignty opposing imperialism. The rule based order was established. To perfect this order, NATO was created to militarily contain Soviet expansion.

With Finland and Sweden joining NATO, and a war in Ukraine, there now is an opportunity for NATO to obtain final containment of imperial Moscow. A free world wall exists between the Norwegian Sea to the Caucuses. Moscow will lose in Ukraine and withdraw back inside their borders, and contained therein.

US benefits form NATO providing a forward defense. Is that defense needed now that NATO is on the verge of final containment? The US protected sea lanes for alliances. EU has the resources to match Russia which is imploding. This presents an opportunity to safely withdraw from NATO after a Ukrainian victory.

This is an apex perspective. Putin’s conduct caused Sweden and Finland to join NATO. Soviet subjugation caused Eastern Europe to join NATO. They understand evil. Who cares what evil wants? Ask what Ukraine wants. It’s their sovereignty, of the rule based order, that US Russia and UK agreed. The outcome is inevitable, a Russian defeat. The Ukrainians had a taste of freedom and they are not going back to subjugation.
