    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.

      Honestly, when you consider that a major objective of instigating the Ukraine-Russia war was to shorten the US’s leash over its European vassals, desperation to maintain NATO as a bloc makes more sense when it comes to attacking Iran. We all know Iran has been in the US-Zionist scope for the past few decades, but it’s also always been understood that a direct confrontation with Iran would be utterly disastrous.
