Incorrect, if nato wasn't there then the members of it would have to build their own army's and pay for them, and the u.s gets dragged in either way. Nato was made so Europe didn't start another war
And it didn’t work out because as usual, Putin’s actions did not match up with his words.

George Robertson recalls Russian president did not want to wait in line with ‘countries that don’t matter’
“George Robertson, a former Labour defence secretary who led Nato between 1999 and 2003, said Putin made it clear at their first meeting that he wanted Russia to be part of western Europe. “They wanted to be part of that secure, stable prosperous west that Russia was out of at the time,” he said.
The Labour peer recalled an early meeting with Putin, who became Russian president in 2000. “Putin said: ‘When are you going to invite us to join Nato?’ And [Robertson] said: ‘Well, we don’t invite people to join Nato, they apply to join Nato.’ And he said: ‘Well, we’re not standing in line with a lot of countries that don’t matter.’”

I read 1 explanation for it but i forget
Yeah, I just posted it. See if you can yank out an RT article that attempts to reframe the facts.
So credible deterrence would be lost. The US wouldn’t be automatically dragged in without defensive treaty obligations.
How about superchomsky?

A lot of nato members don't have armies now, if nato didn't existence then would have armies, a lot of the military needs of nato members fall on the u.s, that is why a lot of those countries can do the free college and Healthcare because they have no military budget

Take your pick. There’s plenty of past and ongoing that the US hasn’t been involved in.

Where are the missiles that so threaten Russia? That they have guns, tanks, helicopters, etc isn't a threat. That's defense. Where are the troops massed on Russia's border? The only player being aggressive in this entire farce is Russia. Exactly why there's a NATO.
