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.
