How do you think young people like you are affected by decisions made by military alliances?

 @9TTBP42 from New Hampshire  answered…8mos8MO

The military alliances we make could determine my way of life if the world ever got into another global conflict as it would determine if we go to war or not.

 @9TT6FBF  from Minnesota  answered…8mos8MO

The only way people are affected by military alliance is in the event of war.

Can a group like this truly be fair to all its members, regardless of size or power?

NATO is an obsolete dinosaur of the Cold War and a sponge for US tax dollars.

In your opinion, should smaller countries rely on international alliances for security, or build their own defenses?

Building their own defenses require resources they don't have. Whether they should rely on international alliances for security is irrelevant when they have no choice.
