The Obama administration that the US needs an NATO exit strategy. The US does not need to belong to NATO. There might be a need for European countries to "band" together for military and mutual protection requirements. NATO less US would be OK - call it ETO. A treaty could be established between ETO and US to maintain coordination of effort.
Europe is a stable region and a much different place than it was when NATO was created. Trying to move forward with the US in NATO is hampering progress for everyone. And a drag on resources that would be better utilized elsewhere.
US should focus on Africa, SE Asia and the Americas for developing military alliances. Then once these alliances/areas are strong, US can back away from them. Although there would be some benefit to maintain an alliance amongst those in Americas.
