Yeah but it will be replaced by a myriad of protection rackets with the us and most of russia’s closest neighbors are NAFO-freaks who would sell their own grandma for the boot.
That’s tricky to predict, my expectation is that it’s going to be driven by economics. Both the US and the EU are teetering on the brink now. If there’s going to be an economic crash, then it’s going to be every man for himself at that point. The US is also desperately trying to make some deal with Russia, so if they manage to do it and freeze the Europeans out, that could also be the catalyst. And then we have nationalist parties in all the major EU countries becoming dominant. If AfD gets into power in Germany or RN in France, they could pull out of NATO and the EU. And Americans might decide NATO isn’t really useful to them anymore as well. Although, if they do attack Iran, they might try to squeeze every last drop out of NATO and force Europeans to participate.
It won’t happen. NATO will dissolve before it decides to stop encroaching.

The break up of NATO is looking like the most likely possibility to me right now.
Agreed. The only real questions I have are when and what shape that will take.
