    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.

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

                    I doubt there’s anything that will sway them. My guess is he’s in massive financial debt to the Russian mafia or directly to Putin. He’s afraid of being suicided out a window defenestration style.

      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.

        France knows this, that’s why it wasn’t in NATO for most its history. This only changed when one of our president needed war crime buddies

          C’est faux. France is one of the founding members of NATO, however for much of the time it was under a French Command instead of a combined command.
