I agree, and have said so many times.
As for leaving NATO, I'm not sure at least for the moment.
We are one of a minority of members who actually pay the agreed amount into the system. Most of the EU countries do not. I'd be much happier if THEY were kicked out first. That would help them make up their minds whether to either pay up or risk being invaded by Russia!
Certainly, though, we should keep our noses out of foreign 'situations', especially when we appear to be the beck and call of America.
As we all know, America always does what's best for America first and others come a poor second. We should do the same.
