I always find this odd that people think that European Nato is weak and couldn't take on Russia, especially when one of the poorest countries in Europe (Ukraine) fought them into a stalemate.
It doesn't matter if Europe only NATO is weak or not. It would look weak. For better or worse the US is at least half it not more of NATO's effective force. The loss would embolden Russia and friends.
Ukraine has also had significant support from NATO, both in materiel and in intelligence. A lot of that support came from the USA and a lot of the means to refill strategic reserves are mainly American owned and run.
A European only NATO has diminished command and control capabilities and defense industry.
