NATO needs to adjust 24/7, because the political situation changes, naturally, over time. That neithr makes NATO obsolete nor unfit as it is at the moment.
Can it be optimized? Definitely.
But we still need it, in my opinion.

I didn't say dissolve NATO, keep NATO, but the U.S. needs to maybe take a less active roll. we currently have 99,500 active duty personnel stationed throughout Europe, most of them because of NATO, that's 3x as many troops as we have fighting wars in the Middle East. Maybe it's time for the EU to take on more responsibility for her own defense.
