Nato is a US colonial project to whip europeans into jumping head first into whatever cockamamie global war the US has lined up so no, it won't. This is just desperate wishcasting.

Like what's gonna happen. The US takes Greenland and then every european country suddenly grows a backbone, and, as a block, expel all US military personnel and hardware?

Random example, Romania has the world's largest concentration of US himars, after America. You think they're gonna say no to having that in their back pocket in exchange for no EU concession? The EU will quickly find they don't have enough concessions to give eastern europe to say NO to their american presence.

I think this is the right take. The US could roll up to almost any EU country and say "this is mine now" and nobody would do shit about it. NATO is not an alliance it is an extension of the US war machine

I mean, I could see local resistance (not goverment) in countries like Spain, Portugal, Ireland, France, Greece and Italy but I doubt they would be able to do any meaniful damage against the US. The US basically owns all of Western Europe and neutered Eastern Europe besides Russia and Belarus.
