Is it time to put an end to US involvement in NATO....after all we have two rather large bodies of water between us and Europe....and we are energy independent.

Considering the US has spent vast sums over the years sweet talking countries into baseing US troops in their countries to project their presence the world over, with the advantages that confers in their ability to strike from close range.
Faced with the costs that Trump wants to foist upon those countries, one wonders how the US would react to those countries refusing to abide and asked the US to close it's bases and leave. Imagine if they lost their bases in the Med, Germany or the UK and Diego García , the likes of the strikes on Libya, Syria or Iraq would suddenly have got a harder proposition to undertake.
