NATO will kick us to the curb and rise to the challenge. We will need them one day and they will say no.

It isn't credible now. It likely won't exist at all in 4 years. Unless it cedes even more decision making authority to the US and becomes even more of a puppet.

The main point I was making is that Trump is almost certainly going to pull the US out of NATO altogether.

If not attempt to destroy it outright in an attempt to extort it.

Only if he gets attention or money for doing so. Those are his two gods, and he serves no others.

Well don’t forget Putin

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

He serves Putin because Putin gives him attention and money. It's the same gods.

Doesn't all authority already lie with the USA? If we're going to be real, I mean. I'm sure France thinks otherwise but let's be real: NATO was always the "Uncle Sam will protect Europe from Russia"-treaty.

Can NATO still mean something if the US leaves? I think so, but there is much soul searching to be done.
