That’s what I think as well, and I expect Trump will use this as an excuse to pull troops out of the EU. I really do think the US is now seeing NATO as being more of a liability. Without NATO, the EU will still be entirely dependent on the US for the military industry, but there won’t be any obligations on the part of the US. What that’s going to result in is a panic in the EU and them dumping huge amounts of money into defense contracts buys weapons from the US.
