    At a time when Russian, Chinese and even American aggression is at it’s highest for decades? Great idea.

        Leader. So you don’t even know how it works.

        America is not leader of NATO, it’s a member of NATO. If America were to attack anyone that would be by definition not a NATO action.

          America decides who NATO is going to invade and all the NATO members will obey and hop aboard. That is how it works.

            No it isn’t. America has its opinions on things I am sure but NATO does not exist to execute the arbitrary wims of the United States, especially now, but not really ever.

            It’s a military defence packed, if one nation is attacked the others respond as if they themselves were attacked. In the past the US has definitely abused this in order to get what they want. But in no way does that make them in charge.
