The biggest thing will be all those nato countries who can't do anything with their US weapons if the US says so.
If only there was a country in europe that had voiced this concern in the 50s, all of that could have been avoided... Oh wait.

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

Trump's point about NATO countries needing to adhere to the funding that was agreed with mutually is a good one and I'm super confused why he was ridiculed about it when he said it. I mean, what's the point of the alliance if we don't do the things we agree to do?
European here. That money is more like a protection racket than anything. When the US means protection they mean vassality. The NATO empowered fascists and killed left-wing politician. Fuck the NATO.

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.

4 years? Try 6 months from now.
