"The whole purpose behind NATO was to keep the Russians out, the Germans down, and the Americans in." - British politician, Lord Ismay.

This explains why:
* Russia was refused NATO entry in the 90s
* America blew up Nordstream
* Europe is desperate to keep America invested in the Ukraine war

America wanting out of NATO means kicking out 1 leg of a 3-leg stool. NATO and the EU are in a slow death spiral.
