re: Trump to discuss NATO withdrawal

If the US quickly dropped NATO, you’re assuming they don’t all start scattering to their own spheres and interests. Maybe they carry on the extremely limited Russian influence, but that would be a polar shite.

I agree they may not remain united. But as for whether they can defend themselves without the US, they don't have a lot of outside threats. Russia is the worst, but Poland alone could hold off Russia these days, and a Russian attack will unite much of Europe.

But "scattering to their own spheres and interests" (e.g. World War II) is a real risk. Not sure why that's great for the United States or the rest of the world.
