Does NATO still exist? To me it is just an illusion on paper. I cannot trust USA anymore.

There is still a pipe dream that next election USA will go back to normal... Spoiler alert: its gone

democracy worked against him last time and i think more than half of americans know we formed nato to get rid of pricks like this

if it doesn't work again this time then we are in a much deeper hole

@jimmy90 @Await8987 even when he goes, he's destroyed the US's soft power (and created long-term hatred towards the US in places where USAID was suddenly closed), tanked the economy and damaged trade links. The US will either be an insular yet aggressive dictatorship or focused on healing its wounds for years to come. Meanwhile empowered US fascists are funding fascists abroad, who will adopt nationalist policies of their own if they get in. The world is a very changed place.

What about a revolution? Wait no, we have to wait mid term and final exams.

Throughout the history of the US they've gone from bad presidents to good presidents, from isolationist to internationalist. So I think it's possible that a better president will win in 2028. But who knows at this point.

The ones which I hope will take place... but again, who knows

I thought NATO would no longer exist without the US, but it has said it will retaliate if Trump invades Greenland, so I suppose it will still exist.
