Nonsense. It's true enough that a lot of governmental organizations end up serving themselves, and NATO is no exception, but the Europeans remember their history better than we do. NATO was formed because the post-WWII Soviet Union posed a clear threat to the West. This threat has been revived in Putin's Russia. As a matter of fact, Putin's sequence of subversion and aggression against his neighbors follows the pattern of Hitler's intrigues and conquests that led to WWII.

In other words, how would Hitler have fared if his aggressive instincts had faced a united Europe? Instead, with the benefit of a divided continent he used the pattern of picking off one country after another.
