Maybe you missed the part where Trump decided to “maybe” withdraw the US from NATO

So, has the US withdrawn from NATO or is it a part of NATO?
Also, it would be nice if the US withdrew from NATO.

switched to a Mafia style for military protection

The rest of NATO has been a bunch of glorified provinces of the US since NATO's inception.

threatened to reduce military capacity in the EU

That would be great, actually. NATO in general should both be prevented from invading elsewhere, and be forced to answer for its already-committed crimes.

We will replace the US military shield by 2030. Google it if you don’t believe it

Glorified USian provinces in Europe will not be going independent any time soon.

This is hilarious.

I know this because I have not been living under a rock, and have actually studied some history of the past couple of centuries, and not because I am a worshipper of any of your overlords.

EDIT: How would that even make sense, considering that the US does not try to claim that the rest of NATO are its obedient subjects? Did you not think your response through before you posted it?

Wow man, you actually studied the last couple of centuries of history? You must be such an expert!

Well, I have more expertise in the topic than you do.
