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.

That doesn’t mean the Russians don’t have anything on him.
I’m genuinely curious to see what qualifies as compromat in the modern political climate. You’ve got folks fully undeterred in running for office who have been held done dead to rights on child sex trafficking charges. And you’ve got AI generated slop used to smear people in municipal elections.
Meanwhile, this is policy Massie campaigns on. It’s not like he’s risking his neck to run on leaving NATO. It’s his whole brand.
