Should NATO be disbanded?

[Torie]

Whether NATO is disbanded or not, will not make much difference, since nations act in concert when they want to, and don't when they don't, irrespective of what pieces of paper say, or organizational structures being in place that can theoretically be used, but in fact are almost ceremonial at this point (part of the "problem" is that there are very few militaries around now in a high tech world that can effectively project their power much anyway; some of the European militaries are welfare schemes where the troops do make work, and are probably less "dangerous" than a street gang). It is kind of a moot point at this point.

All of the "important" Euro countries have very competent, modern militaries that are man for man, on par with the US.  Yes, even the best rely too much on the US for force projection, but I wouldn't want to fight any majorish war without the help of the UK and Germany.

The UK has a very competent military. Germany?
