Considering last night's results, I don't expect NATO to be credible 4 years from now (sh.itjust.works)

Sorta, but not really tbh. The US was always intrinsically backstopping the security side of things. Without us in it - and I mean this very seriously - it’s not really a credible threat to Russia or anyone else anymore.

NATO article 5 will still have use in self defence, but obviously it will be way less impressive

The article is only powerful if it's enforced.

I suspect that Putin's direct report won't really sign on to any sort of defense of European countries.
