So much for American altruism. ;-)

You are, of course, correct. Helping Europe was putting America First in many ways. And, in a war, NATO would have kept the Rooskies occupied in Europe, rather than rolling them over, and it coming to our doorstep. Yeah, I still remember how to think like a Cold Warrior (I was raised in the Cold War).
