If you still haven’t noticed, NATO really is mostly an US tool for power projection in Europe and the surrounding areas. It does cosplay as a defensive alliance against Russia, but without the US, there isn’t that much to it. Especially as long as the US is a member and can prevent NATO from actually defending against Russia.
We all know that but it should still be the main actor (NATO) the one who speaks, not its main member.
A single member thought should be just ignored legally speaking
The alternative to NATO is the EU, which is also a defensive alliance, does not include the US and has a lot of power outside of military matters. The only larger downside is that the UK is not a member, but other then that it is a much better tool.
Wasn’t NATO supposed to offer protection?

An alternative that both USA and RUS are now trying to fight with no success.
