US Ruling Class Fears Trump Would Withdraw from NATO

The New York Times – generally considered a mouthpiece for US militarism and ruling class interests – published an article Saturday agonizing over the possibility that former President Trump would withdraw from NATO in a second term.

The report, although rife with opinion and speculation, was published as a news item in the Saturday edition of the controversial newspaper.

“For 74 years, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization has been America’s most important military alliance,” read the article. The authors went on to suggest there is “enormous uncertainty and anxiety” throughout Europe and among “American supporters of the country’s traditional foreign-policy role” (which has resulted in the death of at least 4.5 million since 2001).

“There is great fear in Europe that a second Trump presidency would result in an actual pullout of the United States from NATO,” said James G. Stavridis, a former NATO supreme allied commander. “That would be an enormous strategic and historic failure on the part of our nation.”

Despite NATO’s ostensible existence as an “alliance” between the United States and European countries Stavridis, like every other NATO supreme commander, is American.

Benjamin Norton, the founder and editor-in-chief of Geopolitical Economy Report, has derisively labeled the alliance as the “Nazi Arming and Training Organization” for their support of Nazi elements. Historically, the alliance elevated former German Nazis to key positions of power throughout the Cold War and supported terrorism, assassinations, psychological warfare, and false flag operations through a covert effort known as Operation Gladio.

The strategy was duplicated in Latin America where the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) utilized and provided safe haven for former Nazis like Klaus Barbie.

Despite ostensibly existing as an anticommunist alliance, NATO remained hostile to Russia after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and continued expanding east in violation of the agreement with the country during the final days of the Cold War. Recently the US government-backed Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe laid bare the country’s intention to balkanize Russia in a conference advocating for “decolonization” even as the United States continues to support the “colonization” of the Gaza Strip.

Recently the consequences of US hegemony in Europe have been made clear as Germany endures a deep economic crisis brought about by the country’s participation in US-led sanctions on Russia.

  1. Well, NATO is just one alibi for the stinking *paths in Washington DC. Without USA, I suspect NATO will collapse. I don’t see how UK, Germany and France are capable to sustain the war organisation by themselves. Bailing NATO isn’t difficult either (Article 13), in contrast to exit EU …

    • To be honest, Sasjal, I don’t think Germany and France would have any desire to participate in NATO, but are arm-twisted (out of fear of sanctions and CIA coups) into participating. I think the UK is a different story. I personally believe the City of London banking center (with their solid control of the world off-shore banking havens) still controls the global financial world.

  2. I like to read the comments before reading the articles themselves. I agree that the US’ withdrawal from NATO would be a vast improvement, but withdrawal from the UN would be even better. Both globalist organizations defy sovereign boundaries and serve no strategic interest, other than to wage perpetual war.

    I also agree that the New York Whines is a constant inciter of trouble. I have been re-reading back issues in an effort to cull excess, and am amazed at how editorial opinion and hearsay dominate what’s promoted as news.

  3. I totally agree, Katherine. What the US needs are statesmen. As my mother stated before she died, Robert Taft was the last true statesman. JFK wrote about him in “Profiles in Courage.” Taft was the first to call out the Nuremberg trials as being unfair and allowing all the real Nazi leaders to escape.
