| Senator Ben Sasse: Germany Has ‘De Facto' Exited NATO |
| 2022-01-25 |
| [Breitbart] Monday, during Hugh Hewitt’s nationally syndicated radio broadcast, Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) reacted to the ongoing heightened situation between Russia and Ukraine, which some are suggesting will end with Russia invading Ukraine. Hewitt asked the Nebraska lawmaker to react to Germany’s efforts to block aid to Ukraine and asked if that was a sign Germany had left NATO. "[H]as Germany effectively left NATO?" Hewitt asked. "And I am deadly serious. If they are preventing overflights of British supplies to Ukraine, and they’re refusing to allow the Baltic states to send the mortars that Germany sold them to Ukraine, they are effectively returning to the position of Central Europe arbitrator between Russia and the West. They have left NATO, I believe." "It certainly feels in a de facto way, maybe not a de jure way, but in a de facto way, it feels like Germany has tried to move to a pre-NATO time in history," Sasse responded. "And obviously, that’s a terrible time. I mean, the American people have not been brought along. It’s a failure of leadership. And we’re, you know, we’re three straight administrations into people undermining NATO. But now, we’re at a place where NATO clearly isn’t what it was and what it should be, and it feels like Germany’s act in the last days and week sure feel like an abandonment of NATO in reality." |

| #5 Fiona Hill today: "...this saga could indeed mark the beginning of the end of America’s military presence in Europe." So be it. Preserve some bases in the UK, Spain, Italy at most. End of an era. Time for us to finally start restoring our Republic. And protect our border, build up our domestic manufacturing, smash the domestic race-warrior / Marxist movement and repair our working and middle class communities. |

| #1 Good riddance! It was about time. War with Russia isn't in Germany's interest, and neither is it in the interest of the American people. Just like Iraq, there are about 10,000 people clustered around Washington DC who are in favor of this new war. That's it. That's all of them. And they all have names and addresses. |
