55% of our oil is domestic, of the foreign oil - 29% comes from Canada. Over half of our imports come from the Western Hemisphere. Do we really need oil from the Middle East? Or do countries in Asia and Europe? Europe has very few oil reserves. Romney is quite deluded, and wouldn't have made much of a better president on this matter than Obama is.
It would certainly be one of many things they should cut with this current "fiscal cliff" incident. Maybe not less, but it is quite clear to any sensible person that the money the federal government gets is not being put to good use.Do you believe that in case of termination of existence of NATO, you will have to pay less than you have paid so far?!

Read my previous post.
U.S. and Europe share the same values, unlike Russia which has always been a threat to Europe. Even in the Kosovo war proved which countries share common values. USA and EU on one side, Russia, China, Iran, Cuba in the other side.Anyway, supporting NATO makes you an American collaborator in Europe. Unlike America, Russia is an European country. Not to mention how European it is compared to semi-Asiatic Albania.
Serbia is a Russian base in Europe.

As usual, any thread regarding NATO turns into Shumado-Siptar flame war.
I'm against any kind of large military organisations, though the existence of NATO may be a good reason for moderate tolerance between neighbor countries who would probably have much worse relationship otherwise (like Greece and Turkey).
Values are personal. Nobody is forcing you to support gays or marry an African woman.

U.S. is the largest consumer of oil in the world. In long-term needs USA necessarily will depend on the oil of Middle East. A mere thirty years ago, 28% of the oil consumed in the United States was imported. Today nearly 60% of the oil utilized and consumed in the United States is imported from other countries.
The United States consumed a total of 6.87 billion barrels (18.83 million barrels per day) in 2011.
The largest reserves of oil in the world:
Middle East - 727 billion barrels
Central and South America - 99 billion barrels
Africa - 87 billion barrels
Nations of the former Soviet Union - 78 billion barrels
Western Europe and China - 18 billion barrels
Mexico - 16 billion barrels
India - 5 billion barrels
U.S. has no reason to feel comfortable regarding the fulfillment of its oil needs.
I am aware about the concerns of American taxpayers, but I also think that the existence of NATO is in the good of your country and nation.It would certainly be one of many things they should cut with this current "fiscal cliff" incident. Maybe not less, but it is quite clear to any sensible person that the money the federal government gets is not being put to good use.
Strength of its influence in the world is vital for your existence.
I also think that U.S. foreign policy is the same, regardless of who is president.
