The United States’ ruling class is considering eliminating funding for the United Nations and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) as part of a State Department budget proposal. This would cut about half of the State Department’s budget.
Citing officials and an internal memo, The New York Times [behind a paywall] reported on Monday that the most recent budget proposal would eliminate “almost all funding for international organizations like the United Nations and NATO.” This news comes as the same ruling class seeks to increase the Pentagon’s budget to $1 trillion.
In Spite Of Claiming To Cut Government Spending, Trump Announces $1 Trillion Defense Budget
State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce insisted that the United States’ ruling class remains fully committed to the military bloc, NATO. She stressed, however, that Washington does not see NATO as a tool for waging war, but rather as a deterrent to conflict. “We want to make sure… that the nations in NATO can actually deliver on the mission of NATO, which is to be a deterrent. It is not to help with wars or to help fight them… NATO was meant to be a collection of entities that would stop the bad actors from doing the bad thing,” she said.
The Trump administration has repeatedly pushed NATO members to increase their defense spending, arguing the US bears a disproportionate share of the burden. Trump has warned that the US might not defend NATO members who fail to meet spending targets. –RT

While the rulers seek to cut the State Department’s budget, they are increasing defense spending. It all seems counterintuitive. The Trump administration’s narrative, along with its creation of DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), has been to cut unnecessary spending. So why is war spending necessary? Especially since the rulers also stated they’d like to end a war? Is it so that territories can be taken over militarily? What do you think? Sound off in the comments.
