I hate how “anti-war” has been hijacked by these people to mean, let imperialist countries invade whoever they want with no consequences. (in the case of tankies, any imperialist country that isn’t in NATO).

Well ideally if you don't want to be a part of an agreement, you just tell the people you made the agreement with that you are no longer a part of it.

If you do so amicably, parties may be fine with it it may not have bad effects. If you wait till one of those counties is being invaded and back out, it likely would not end amicably, and with them having to switch over to a wartime economy, they may cut all trade moving forward with the member who screwed them over. Could cost the U.S. trillions in trade annually.

Aka it would be more profitable to support your allies, or get out of the agreement early, but that doesn't guarantee counties don't say... Why should we trade with someone who would hang us out to dry? And it hurts our economy anyway.
