Hopefully it works, Trump will be gone soon, but if the US start pulling out of NATO it'll take a lot more to rejoin. Imho, the NATO guy is playing the best game he can.

Hopefully after Trump a more moderate president will arrive, there can't be too many like him. 😰

Imagine the NATO guy says "ok, we don't need you USA" what then?

    One thing I like about Trump being the president is just how much he exposed the power dynamic of the imperial core. He exposed just how vile these countries are and how subservient all the vassal states are to it.

    NATO is just another tool for the US to project power over the world. Mark Rutte's words! :)

    The EU needs either the US Empire, or to smooth things over with Russia and/or pivot more to China. NATO is just a tool of US imperial power projection in Europe, but the US Empire is pivoting away from Europe and towards Asia and Latin and South America.
