The biggest thing will be all those nato countries who can't do anything with their US weapons if the US says so.

If only there was a country in europe that had voiced this concern in the 50s, all of that could have been avoided... Oh wait.

It isn't credible now. It likely won't exist at all in 4 years. Unless it cedes even more decision making authority to the US and becomes even more of a puppet.

NATO will kick us to the curb and rise to the challenge. We will need them one day and they will say no.

Can NATO still mean something if the US leaves? I think so, but there is much soul searching to be done.
