Exactly. Also, Europe can and likely will start its own defensive alliance sooner or later. But with the US constituting more than half the military power of NATO right now, that won't amount to much other than keeping the Russians in check.

Ah, so the issue is that NATO, in order to be effective, is very much dependent on the US being in it. Bother.

Not really, NATO is a nuclear power and a several times bigger conventional military power than Russia, even without the US.

That said, it would be shit fighting against the US. For everyone involved.
