There is no more reason for Nato to exist. It is only an excuse for the US to keep its troops in Europe in order prevent an unified Europe from becoming a competitor and a rival power. Cause thats our greatest fear, an unified strong and independent Europe that competes with us for influence and power. Actually it would be a good thing. I just wonder when is Germany and Japan gonna tell us to get our troops out.

well said, mate, well said. Nato is simply an instrument the United States is using to keep Western Europe under its influence.

The only reason the US is involved with nato

is to infringe upon other nation states nationalistic autonomy to practice political-

ecomics as the US does, in their own best interests, without interference.

AlJazeera isn't perfect, but I don't think you're ever going to hear "NATO is struggling to find a reason for it to exist" on BBC.

NATO has no business outside of the North Atlantic region. It needs to get out and stay out of Asia and Africa. The only international forces that should be in those continents is the UN or the indigenous alliances like AU.

The first question is very interesting and shows how many people think about the Nato because of American actions.

The Nato has actually very good rules of engagments.
