The US is already de facto withdrawn from NATO. Is there any faith that they would step up if Europe gets attacked?

The thing is, though, minihands’ approach to NATO is such that, a few months in, Poland is talking to France about hosting nuclear warheads. Like “oh, we might withdraw from NATO” is not quite the threat it might have been a few years ago; it’s already somewhat questionable what use NATO is anymore.

If the US withdraw from NATO, that organization will have a new use that is to prevent a hostile annexation of Greenland and Canada.

"Don't touch our oligarch."

If the US withdraws from NATO for this, Article 5 was never gonna be respected.
