Who knows, maybe NATO'll update to the modern era after this. Maybe.

I don't think the NATO will exist for much longer. I expect the US withdrawing soon, causing a chain reaction.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was among the topics discussed during the recent meeting between Trump and Putin. I expect there is already a plan and timeframe.
