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.

Doesn't all authority already lie with the USA? If we're going to be real, I mean. I'm sure France thinks otherwise but let's be real: NATO was always the "Uncle Sam will protect Europe from Russia"-treaty.

France knows this, that's why it wasn't in NATO for most its history. This only changed when one of our president needed war crime buddies

The main point I was making is that Trump is almost certainly going to pull the US out of NATO altogether.

He serves Putin because Putin gives him attention and money. It's the same gods.

Putin also kinda obviously has some serious dirt on him

What dirt could he possibly have that the MAGA crowd gives two shits about?
