I love this sentiment simply because the idea that the US would be spending less on the military if they weren’t in NATO is ridiculous. There’s no stopping US military spending without absolutely crippling the US economy. Other NATO members spending more on their militaries will not save the US taxpayer a dime.
Considering there’s basically no chance of fucking up the gorilla, I don’t think you’d have to worry about the ethics of the situation.
