NATO is realpolitik. It might be that you don't know its origins, what it represents and what its mechanisms are. I recommend you study it. And by the way: It goes both ways. The defence pact is reciprocal. When the US is attacked, all members of NATO are obliged to contribute for its defense and offense as well. It is not a one way thing where the US only contributes one direction.

It is most certainly NOT braindead. You Sir, are wrong.

Above commenter is quoting Emmanuel Macron.[1] Macron called the alliance "brain dead" after Turkey, a NATO member, invaded Syria, attacking Kurdish forces backed by Turkey's NATO allies.

I see. Without context, I didn't follow. Thank you.

Yes sorry, I should have been being more explicit that I was approximately citing Macron.
