Should America leave NATO? As the United States continues to serve as the default guarantor of Western security, European "allies" are increasingly restricting airspace, denying base access, and treating their obligations as optional when American interests are on the line. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano strips away the slogans, summit photo ops, and empty rhetoric to examine the uncomfortable reality of NATO in 2026. From recent disputes with Spain and Italy to the long-term delinquency of Old Europe, this episode asks whether the alliance still serves America's strategic interests or whether it has outlived its value. Professor Giordano also explores the growing civilizational divide between the United States and Europe, asking a deeper question: How can America continue defending a West that increasingly seems to despise its own culture and is disconnected from the values of liberty, sovereignty, and free expression that once defined it? What You'll Learn: The Logistics of Betrayal: Why recent base and airspace denials from NATO partners expose a fundamental breakdown in the alliance. The One-Way Guarantee: How the U.S. underwrites European security while allies treat their support as optional. The Libya Lesson: A look at how the U.S. historically supplied the muscle for European interests and inherited the strategic mess. Civilizational Atrophy: Why Europe's growing speech controls and bureaucratic governance raise questions about long-term alignment The Path Forward: Why Congress should stop treating NATO as sacred and start treating it like any other policy that must serve American interests šŸ“² Subscribe, listen, and sā€¦ ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/conservative-politics-news-the-p-a-s-report-1174436/episodes/should-america-leave-nato/transcription-requests` ā€” Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/conservative-politics-news-the-p-a-s-report-1174436/should-america-leave-nato.md` ā€” Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
