Should the US ditch Nato and just create an Anglosphere alliance?

Why is this in the flood? I could've sworn I was in Serious.

And lose a ton of military allies? Sure, you have to assist them in case if war, but they have to assist you too. Splitting off would make everyone weaker.

In what sense? Here's a map of all countries part of the Anglo-sphere, with many of them being former British/American rule and influence. They all have substantial English/Anglo knowledge

But then who will stop Putin from invading Poland?

Weaker? The US is footing 90% of the bill for Nato. I doubt it would make anyone weaker. If anything it would make everyone stronger by forcing the countries that freeload off US defense to spend more on their own militaries.

Obviously I was referring to Britain, US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. I wasn't talking about India and those African shitholes.

Whilst I don't know of any specific pacts/treaties, I'm pretty sure that the Anglosphere will defend each other in the event of a shitstorm. Mostly because the US and the UK are best buddies and the UK runs the commonwealth, so attacking any country that is a part of that would end badly for the aggressor. I could be wrong though, but most of the anglosphere falls under it or has ties to the UK/US in some way.

NATO is perhaps a better organisation to maintain than a global alliance of anglosphere countries because Europe and the middle east, whether people like it or not, is the major focal point for pretty much every conflict ever.

Having most of western/middle/eastern europe in the same military alliance is a very strategic union, especially when it allows the fragmented countries in Europe to punch above their weight, when combined with a superpower like the USA, it's not really something to be sniffed at <.<

So that means it's just for the great white race and we throw all colored people into Africa, right?

Septy · September 29, 2014, 08:15:09 PM

What's the difference between them? Would we get in trouble for leaving NATO?

This has got to be one of the most idiotic, off topic, retarded posts I've ever seen on this forum.

It has NOTHING to do with the topic at hand.

Nothing.

At all.

You are an idiot.

Don't post in my threads if you don't have anything intelligent to say.

Why would we get in trouble for leaving a military alliance? France has done it before because of their superiority complex. I don't see why the US would.

I don't really know what NATO or the Anglosphere are

No. That name is reserved for us Brits when we acquire another empire.

Do you even know what the anglosphere is?

You are aware the anglosphere only refers to the US, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, right? You know, the countries with a large Anglo-saxon population and heritage?
