Elon Musk says the U.S. should leave NATO. Some politicians are nodding along. And a whole bunch of people who just learned what NATO is yesterday are suddenly experts on geopolitics.
So let’s get real—this is the dumbest geopolitical idea of the century.
Every time the U.S. has tried isolationism, the world burned.
- 1919: The U.S. refused to join the League of Nations → World War II happened.
- 1938: The world let Hitler take land → World War II escalated.
- 1941: The U.S. ignored Japan’s aggression → Pearl Harbor.
- 2008: Russia invaded Georgia → Nobody stopped them, they still control 20% of the country.
- 2014: Russia took Crimea → No NATO? No consequences.
- 2022: Putin invaded Ukraine, betting NATO was too weak to respond.
And if the U.S. bails on NATO? Poland, Estonia, and Finland are next.
Meanwhile, China is waiting for America to fold so they can waltz into Taiwan and rewrite the global order. The second we walk away, the Pacific becomes China’s backyard.
👉 This episode breaks down:

- Every time the U.S. tried “staying out of it” and how that worked out (spoiler: it didn’t)
- Who benefits if the U.S. walks away (hint: not Americans)
- Why leaving NATO would be a historic mistake
