So it seems everyone here considers NATO outdated as well, my reserve is that General Mattis stated

The retired Marine Corps general, according to a Politico report, labeled NATO so central to the U.S.’s defensive posture that, if it did not today exist it would need to be built.

I'm inclined to believe Mattis is more aware of geopolitics and more knowledgeable on military capabilities as well.

That doesn't mean it's current state isn't obsolete.

He could be saying this just to get confirmed for his position.
