The best military and diplomatic minds in the West say NATO is needed in this day and age. Why don't we all do our part and support it?
We the experts say it's no longer needed, we'll disband it.
We all do. We pay our fees, and contribute the military power and gear that we have agreed on, plus are politically willing to pay for. Sometimes this means buying ****ty expensive US made crap, other times it means we build our own in Europe. In total NATO members contribute as much as there is needed to counter the threats that are out there... which are not many in the NATO sphere of influence, aka Europe and North America. One could argue that we contribute wayyyy more than we should considering the threats there are. No need for massive parking lots of tanks when the real threat are right wing religious nutjobs with a bomb strapped to their body.
