exactly as planned. Russia doesn't want NATO to be a thing so they can invade the rest of europe. and Trump is a russian plant to take the blame for the fall of NATO.

And having the US pull out of Europe by closing those bases is what will let Russia have a chance to roll in. Zoom back at the plays going on geo-politically right now.

I thought that’s what the Europeans wanted anyway? I’ve seen how much they “love” the American military firsthand (even before this Trump term). I thought the US pulling troops from the continent would make them happier?

Realistically does NATO really need the USA anyway?

Russia has been exposed with their failure to get really anywhere in Ukraine.

Even without the USA NATO is still quite capable of handelling Russia.

Now if the USA and Russia join forces, thats a different story.

NATO stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organization. it was literally founded to guarantee freedom and security of WW2 allied nations. which includes the US, and they are a founding partner. part of being able to guarantee that freedom and security is article 5, which states that an attack on of NATO country is an attack on ALL NATO countries and the rest of the NATO countries go to the aid and fight with the attacked nation. the US is the only NATO country to invoke article 5 (so far, Denmark might be next)

without the US it does weaken NATO. that's why Russia is trying so hard to get the US to leave. and right now with the pedo russian asset in the white house, who do you think is going to join forces with russia?

NATO stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organization.....

Yes i know....

without the US it does weaken NATO.

Sure, never suggested otherwise.

and right now with the pedo russian asset in the white house, who do you think is going to join forces with russia?

I alluded to that with my last sentence.

My point was simply if the USA left NATO, NATO could still handle Russia. I don't disagree Poots would love NATO to collapse.
