Why should the USA continue to over pay for NATO when it's not in out national defense needs?

Because the US made NATO to help them in stupid geopolitical games against Russia and other countries, the rest of NATO in EU already have EU, the only reason they're in NATO is join with US pact. US wants that alliance because they want to be able to throw their weight around easier on global stage. For real there is no benefit to EU nations because they already have EU which is enough to prevent was with neighbors.

For real NATO is not needed, it's an organization that was made as response to Warsaw Pact, communism is gone and NATO these days is used by US to play stupid games.

If I was president, I would leave NATO so fast...

We use NATO resources all the time for defense. Plus, any country not mixing it up with the others isn't playing fair. I listen to our President calling out all our allies because he doesn't think it's "give and take" out there. Trust me - you HAVE to give to get anything.

Take a look at your bases. Without NATO... you can’t do anything east of the Atlantic, west of the Pacific, or north of the 49th parallel

The US doesn't "pay for NATO". Each country pays for their own military and naval forces. There are NO "NATO soldiers", only a couple of NATO bases and a few NATO airplanes -- less than 10 or so.

The US spends so much on it's military because it has so many non-NATO military and defense interests, such as in the Pacific, etc. The European members of NATO are primarily concerned with Europe. The UK and France are the only European NATO members with any ability to operate outside the European area and have nothing like the capability of the US. Canada is a special case as like the US is a non-European member of NATO.

A bunch of nations together are stronger than a single nation alone. We could not have beaten the Germans, Italians and Japanese if we had not joined together with other nations. Just as Napoleon would not have been defeated if other nations had not joined together to beat him. When Europe was divided between NATO and the WARSAW PACT, smaller non-aligned nations like Sweden and Switzerland were safe. But now that NATO has show weakness, Russian is grabbing territory of nations like Georgia and the Ukraine. The USA needs to stay involved in NATO because if we do ever have to go to war with Russia, I would rather do it in Europe than on our own soil.

The US isn't paying that much towards NATO, it pays for it's own armed forces, no one else's. It can reduce it's own armed forces any time it wants to.

Btw it has used NATO bases in Turkey for operations in Iraq and Syria and NATO troops from other countries are in Afghanistan at US request
