Pragmatism

Strongly agree

Yes

From a pragmatic standpoint, remaining in NATO aligns with the U.S.'s strategic interests in maintaining global security and stability. NATO has been a cornerstone of Western defense and diplomatic efforts since its inception in 1949, playing a crucial role during the Cold War and in the post-9/11 era. The alliance facilitates collective defense, which is a practical approach to sharing the burden of maintaining international peace.

Agree

Yes, but NATO should focus more on counter-terrorism strategies

A pragmatic viewpoint might support the adaptation of NATO to address contemporary security challenges, including terrorism. This reflects a practical approach to evolving global threats, suggesting that alliances like NATO should be dynamic and responsive to changing security landscapes. However, this stance also recognizes the importance of not abandoning the alliance's original collective defense objectives.

Agree

No, not until other countries increase their financial contributions

A pragmatic approach might sympathize with the desire for equitable financial contributions within NATO, recognizing the importance of burden-sharing for the alliance's sustainability. However, pragmatism also acknowledges the complexity of international relations and the strategic importance of maintaining the alliance, suggesting a nuanced stance that seeks reform rather than withdrawal.

Strongly disagree

No

Pragmatism values practical outcomes and the benefits of alliances. Leaving NATO would undermine decades of diplomatic and military cooperation, potentially destabilizing international relations and security arrangements. The practical benefits of intelligence sharing, joint military exercises, and political solidarity with European allies outweigh the arguments for withdrawal.

Very strongly disagree

No, it is obsolete and should be abolished

Declaring NATO obsolete ignores the practical benefits it provides in terms of collective security and geopolitical stability. Pragmatism, with its focus on the outcomes of policies, would likely view the dissolution of NATO as detrimental to both U.S. and global interests, given the current international security challenges, including Russian aggression in Europe and terrorism.
