"If he broke up NATO on his own, it would be a civil war in the Republican caucus, or the conference. Most of us would find that totally unacceptable. And I'm not alone. There's a large group of us that believe in our alliances and standing up for freedom and pushing back on China and Russia."
"And if he went in and somehow destroyed or tore up NATO, it would probably destroy the party for many years. There would be many that will never forgive that. It would destroy the Republican Party? Collins asked. I think it would implode, Bacon said."
"We no longer need,' or desire, the NATO Countries' assistance WE NEVER DID! Likewise, Japan, Australia, or South Korea. In fact, speaking as President of the United States of America, by far the Most Powerful Country Anywhere in the World, WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE!"
Rep. Don Bacon stated that President Trump lacks the authority to leave NATO without Congressional approval and warned of severe consequences if Trump attempts to dismantle the alliance unilaterally. Bacon emphasized that such action would cause a civil war within the Republican caucus, as a large group of Republicans values alliances and believes in standing firm against China and Russia. Bacon argued that destroying NATO would implode the Republican Party and result in lasting damage that many party members would never forgive. His comments came after Trump criticized NATO on Truth Social, claiming the U.S. no longer needs the alliance's assistance and asserting American military superiority.
