NATO's defense was supposed to be about Liberal Democracy.... Went hand in hand with Bretton Woods.  Then cold war ended and WTO was initiated where the entire worlds supply of dictators and oligarchs were let in and those in power soon realized; GREED and to Hell with supporting Freedom of Speech, Rule of Law, Justice, Regulations, Labor, individual liberty....

So: Why bother with NATO?  ....

Tradition is the only reason.  Until someone starts caring about Freedom of Speech, Rule of Law, Justice, Regulations, Labor, individual liberty....  none of these alliances MEAN anything other than POWER for powers sake.  And then only in the short term.  Eventually the much larger volume of dictators/oligarchs will overwhelm Freedom if you sit by and let it happen.
