Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) on Wednesday introduced a bill that would pull the United States out of the NATO alliance.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) said she would co-sponsor the bill, while Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) has introduced companion legislation in the upper chamber.

“NATO is a Cold War relic. We should withdraw from NATO and use that money to defend our own country, not socialist countries,” Massie said in a statement.

“NATO was created to counter the Soviet Union, which collapsed over thirty years ago. Since then, U.S. participation has cost taxpayers trillions of dollars and continues to risk U.S. involvement in foreign wars,” he added.

Russian asset does Russian asset things.

    NATO was created to counter the Soviet Union, which collapsed over thirty years ago.

    Meanwhile Russia is actively trying to rebuild the Soviet Union by invading neighboring countries and violating NATO airspace.

    You couldn’t be a more blatant Russian asset if you started speaking only Russian and praising Putin himself.
