On the 75th anniversary of NATO’s founding, we must seriously question if remaining militarily embedded in NATO and supporting it at the same level still makes sense for the United States.

How the Ukraine War Will End

“The United States should begin working with Ukraine to help it determine what its political future will be. Having Ukraine become a new Cold War-era Austria or Finland is probably the best outcome for a tragic situation.” ~Andrew Byers

“We have seen the rise of the military-industrial complex, the creation of the national security state, and a bloated military that is second to none, but with a price tag to match.” ~Andrew Byers
