NATO’s value isn’t measured in city aesthetics—it’s about deterring existential threats like Iran’s nuclear ambitions. The U.S. contributes XX% of NATO’s common funds ($753M in 2024), a fraction of our defense budget, while XX allies now meet the X% GDP target. Article X solidarity after 9/11 proved the alliance’s worth, but accountability matters.

The real grift? Bureaucratic bloat in programs like the European Deterrence Initiative, which requested $3.9B in 2025 without clear NATO alignment. Audit the waste, but never retreat from strategic partnerships that prevent wider wars.

Weakness invites conflict; strength—through allies and innovation—deters it.
