It wasn’t all BK or Sloan or injury. Nuss was also just really bad at times this year

Or we could just avoid foreign entanglements like some old white dude suggested.
He also suggested it at a time when it took a piece of paper three weeks to cross the Atlantic.

Because it became obsolete when the Sovient Union fell. It should have been dissolved and new treaties formed at that time.
And these new treaties would be fundamentally different—how? Because bilateral treaties with each of the member states, with all of said member states (plus more) being a part of the EU’s collective defense agreements (sans Turkey, Norway, and the UK which have their own agreements with EU members) wouldn’t really be all that different. Just more paperwork.

Why?

Let NATO dissolve and the U.S. can enter defense agreements on a nation-by-nation bases. I'm sure Eastern Europe, Italy, and maybe the UK would still love to let us have bases on their soil. Screw the French, Germans, Belgians, Dutch, and Danes.
How would that save us money? We’d still be paying Germany, the UK, Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Spain—-at least—to host our military installations that WE want to be there to monitor and respond to events in the North Atlantic and Mediterranean and facilitate/supply/support our operations in African and Western Asia.
The only nations where we are deployed to ostensibly protect the host nations—Poland, Lithuania and the other former Warsaw pact countries who ask us to be there—are our best allies in the alliance
What advantage would leaving nato provide in that context? NATO has never drawn us into conflict. We dragged NATO into Afghanistan and the Serbian air campaign.

The first (2017) officially acknowledged permanent U.S. military site on Israeli soil, housing dozens of U.S. personnel (primarily from the U.S. Army's air and missile defense units) and operating under U.S. command for missile defense cooperation is located at Mashabim Air base in Israel. he Dimona Radar Facility (also known as Site 512 or the AN/TPY-2 radar site on Mount Keren near Dimona). This is a U.S.-operated early-warning radar installation that tracks ballistic missiles (primarily focused on threats from Iran). It has been active for years, is owned and run by the U.S. military
Oh, got it. We have a dozen guys working a radar installation. Is that presence supposed to be inducing us to engage in Israel’s proxy wars?
Note the thread is talking about Europe, which had no part to play in any of our proxy wars over the past two decades.

And yet they are treated the same. Two things don't have to be the same to be treated the same. Congress can pass federal criminal law on wildlife export and authorize money for conflicts abroad. But but but those aren't the same thing! So what? The mechanism is the same.
We just agree to disagree. We’ll find out when or if it happens. SCOTUS treats “like” things differently as a matter of course

Then we should have bases in countries that aren't importing the 3rd world, fining our tech companies, chilling free speech, and pulling us into their proxy wars.
I don’t care about other countries’ domestic policy, and we have zero bases in Israel.

The Senate exercises advise and consent on nominations and the president can then unilaterally fire cabinet heads, recall ambassadors, fire us attorneys. It would actually fit much better in the framework for it to be as everyone since Washington assumed.
Choosing who is the US Attorney for the Northern District of Iowa and committing the United States to a mutual defense obligation with most of Europe are not the same thing.
One is relatively meaningless while the other obligation oscillating back and forth every four years is not in the legitimate interest of the US.

Also, I'm not sure what you are saying scotus might hold.
My gut, and hope, would be that Congress’ requirement that Senate approval be necessary with withdrawal, would be considered a condition of the Senate’s ratification of the treaty.
The alternative isn’t logical.

the U.S. effectively subsidizes other NATO countries' military capabilities through its disproportionately large defense spending, contributing significantly more than its share of the alliance's total budget and GDP, funding shared NATO functions, and maintaining a large U.S. military presence in Europe, which benefits allies by enhancing collective security and interoperability, though some argue it encourages allies to underinvest in their own defense.
Grok or chatGPT?

Congress purports to do things all the time that are beyond its power.
If SCOTUS actually upheld that way in this context, do you not think that would be a net negative?
