NATO mobilized troops after 9/11 and went after Al Qaeda in Afghanistan.
There's more, but if you think it's irrelevant because Russian sponsored Fox says it's not, you've been fooled.

Thanks for playing

A book written in 2006 can well address the 9/11 time period. There are plenty of " no names" out there that aren't connected to a political party
I wonder why the Dems don't just send a check to the MSM every month.
And you have yet to address some of the reasons NATO was created. I will help you.
Remember the time just after Japan , Rome and Berlin ravaged the planet ? Do you remember the Soviet Union ? None of those present a danger today. There isn't much going on in Europe that requires us having 35,000 troops in Germany, is there? How about the 12,000 in Italy ?

NATO is fighting ISIS and other terrorist organizations.
Why do you love ISIS and Russia?
Why do you hate our troops?

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: Russia is an “existential threat” to the United States
General Joseph F. Dunford, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, addressed a crowd at the Brookings Institute last week, in which he discussed the challenges faced by the American military and how best to face them in the coming years.
According to Dunford, Russia poses an “existential threat” to the United States, as they have worked to modernize their abilities to use all of their available assets, including information gathering, cyber-attacks, diplomacy, and military action to accomplish their strategic goals.

WASHINGTON — Countering China's rapidly expanding military and an increasingly aggressive Russia are now the U.S. military's top national security priorities, outpacing the threat of terrorism, the Pentagon said Friday.
A new national defense strategy says that competition with China and Russia has threatened America's military advantage around the world. And it will require increased investment to make U.S. forces more lethal, agile and ready for war.
"We will continue to prosecute the campaign against terrorists, but great power competition — not terrorism — is now the primary focus of U.S. national security," Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said in prepared remarks at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies in Washington.
