1956 - 2026? (70 years)
‘And this whole land shall be a desolation and an astonishment, and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
‘Then it will come to pass, when seventy years are completed, that I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the land of the Chaldeans, for their iniquity,’ says the LORD; ‘and I will make it a perpetual desolation.
(By the way, the whole hierarchical structure of NATO has the U.S. president [aka king of Babylon] as the final authority regarding major decisions.)
In May 1956, the North Atlantic Council (NAC) established a committee of three foreign ministers—often called the "Three Wise Men" (Halvard Lange of Norway, Gaetano Martino of Italy, and Lester B. Pearson of Canada)—to improve and extend NATO cooperation in non-military fields and to develop greater unity within the Atlantic Community. The resulting report, approved in December 1956, solidified the requirement for mandatory political consultation among NATO members to prevent internal discord, especially following the 1956 Suez Crisis and the Hungarian uprising.

As of May 2026, the U.S. is not formally withdrawn from NATO, but the Trump administration is signaling a potential exit following deep tensions over the war in Iran, with the President calling NATO a "failed" alliance that refused to assist in U.S. actions, says Aljazeera. The administration argues the alliance is a "Cold War relic" that wastes U.S. taxpayer dollars, burdens America with the cost of defending wealthy nations, and conflicts with "America First" priorities.
