The Importance of Keeping NATO Strong

Maher: I don't think we should have kept rolling NATO. We were hoping after the Berlin Wall fell, Russia would become one of the nations of the world that joined the family of Western democracies. That was a terrible message to send. Maher: The Pentagon spent $14 trillion after 911. 55% of it went to four profit defense contractors. Average American taxpayer contributed $2,000 to the military last year. At least 15 politicians who shaped U.S. defense policy have investments in military contractors.
