The NATO is an alliance of states that used to be helpful to us, but now it sometimes feels a little like it's smothering America. No, America is not saying it wants to break up with the NATO. It's just that, well, America has a lot on its mind right now. And sometimes, it would just be nice if the NATO would just go along with what America said without having to be so damned fresh about every last little thing The rest of NATO allows the US to toss itself off with its own self importance, as its muh easier than having to clean up afterwards because of the tears tantrums and friendly fire.
