    NATO is mainly a tool of US power projection in Europe cosplaying as a defensive alliance against Russia.

    Now with a Russian puppet sitting in the White House another time (and possibly for good), this concept isn’t worth the paper the North Atlantic Treaty is written on.

        By the fucking EU getting its shit together. But unfortunately, the EU is infiltrated by a bunch of corrupt “transatlanticist” US bootlickers, who have been stalling the EU becoming a power that could hold its own without the US.

            They, at least so far, haven’t had as much power as the US asslickers, except in a handful of countries. Also they have been generally understood as being a problem, while the US bootlickers have been largely applauded and celebrated.
