    if the US got the boot the Institution would than collapse

    Yes which is why in reality NATO has already collapsed, it’s just not been dissolved yet.
    But we can’t trust USA to lead NATO anymore. Are you aware that if a NATO operation were to happen in the middle east, USA would have control of the British nukes?
    Obviously we can’t allow that.

    as doing so means the US has more assets to bomb Iran and such.

    That is pure fantasy, USA has not redirected anything from the arctic or Greenland to be used against Iran.

      Erm that’s not how that works. The US as the leader nation doesn’t give them control over Eroupe’s military.

      Really? The US didn’t move assets away from Greenland after the Eroupean powers increased and establish a deal was reached to have the US back off on it’s annexation threat?

          Really. So if Trump where to hit the nuclear button the UK and French would also be launching their arsenal at who Trump commanded?

            If there is a war that NATO is engaged in as an official NATO engagement then yes. But that is never gonna happen under Trump. Hence NATO is dead.

                From Google:
                An official NATO engagement, in the context of military operations, refers to actions taken by NATO-led forces authorized by the North Atlantic Council (NAC)

                    Oh for fucks sake, google it yourself, why is that in any way relevant?
                    Even if it never happened, it remains the purpose of NATO, because it will definitely happen if article 5 is called, and there is an actual country that is the enemy, and the only country to ever call article 5 was USA. But that was based on a terrorist attack, so a bit of a weird situation.
