I honestly thought dorks like Hegseth and Vance loved NATO. Those guys hate it?

I get that impression, yeah. They at least view it as a lopsided deal where the US does all the heavy lifting.

I think their ideal conception of NATO is a protection racket where the US just charges countries a bunch of money because it would be a shame if anything happened to them.

What a nice army you have here, would be a shame if something were to happen to it

Fuck, seeing this reminded me that that was literally a Monty Python sketch, where a mobster tries to shake down a military base for protection money while the officers are confused and oblivious to his implications.
