If they’re going to withdraw then why are they strong arming all the other nations to spending 5% GDP on defense? If they’re not in NATO, who gives a fuck what they want?
Probably because they want those 5% GDP spent for contracts with the 'murican military industrial complex.
Honestly, NATO might be better off without them
Why do you think that? How would losing half the military assets and technology would benefit NATO?
Just removing the US from another world stage
Soon we will be completely irrelevant
Which is the plan
Gonna be as isolated at North Korea by the end of this administration. As trusted too.
Except they have the largest nuclear arsenal and the world biggest navy. They can’t be ignored.
My brother-in-law is career Navy and he says they’d get mopped by the Chinese.
Eeeeehhh, if you just look at numbers of boats, yes. The US Navy has far, far more experience, though. Drones are also going to change the game in ways we’re only starting to see with the Ukraine War. With that, the answer might be “everyone’s boats are sunk now”.
China probably couldn’t gain air superiority over Taiwan, and without that, an invasion will fail. That will be true even if the US ends up losing more boats.
Only “solution” I see is civil war. The nukes are still a problem for the rest of the world though
They want out because it’s stopping to be a market for the US military industries, as Europe increasingly wants to spend domestically. As such, it now has very little interest.
US: We want you to spend more on defence!
Europe: Ok, we will buy more, from our own companies!
US: That’s not what I meant! I’m going home!Cause and effect are a little twisted here. Trump was already undermining NATO during is first term by saying European members should spend more. They didn’t agree at the time, but the Ukraine War proved that Europe really did need a more domestic MIC, and now they are.
Trump wasn’t saying it in the first place because he thought it would help NATO.
He’s just stirring shit to get his name out there isn’t he?
Great!! Fuck right off USA!!! Without you idiotic dipshits in NATO the rest of the aligned countries don’t have to listen to your moronic whining to spend $ on US defense weaponry/planes etc. You won’t be missed and piss off. From Canada’s POV we’re really looking forward to spending billions on Saab Gripens - so we can protect ourselves from you.
hello Russian shill.
Are you high? The US president is literally a Putin fluffer. But please, go on.
