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So, has the US withdrawn from NATO or is it a part of NATO?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.

Tune your radar: I’m not even American.

Did you reply to the wrong comment? Because what you said has no bearing on mine.

Nope, it was for you.

Ok, well then you should have said something that had any bearing on my comment

These comments? That's precisely what I did: I politely explained you that you're wrong about me.

“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

― Jean-Paul Sartre
