As [Justin Logan](https://www.cato.org/people/justin-logan) puts it, we borrow money from China to make precision-guided munitions which we then give to the Europeans so they can drop them on Libya. This is a product of U.S. involvement in NATO.

In this [new video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2L9wtK1hmOw), [Christopher A. Preble](https://www.cato.org/people/christopher-preble), [Benjamin H. Friedman](https://www.cato.org/people/benjamin-friedman) and [Justin Logan](https://www.cato.org/people/justin-logan) provide analysis about our involvement in NATO with specific respect to the Libya campaign.
