The worst-case scenario is now a possible one: European troops fighting off an invasion largely alone
It’s by no means clear the Europeans would succeed. Romanian and other European officials at the exercise in Cincu, about 260 kilometers (162 miles) north of Bucharest by road, voiced concerns about how long it would take for NATO allies to make it to the front.
French four-star General Philippe de Montenon said he’s confident Europe could prevail, even without the US on side.
“The direction of history is a progressive disengagement of the United States from the European continent,” he said.


What I’m afraid of, is if the US decides to join Russia against Europe….
I’m pretty sure Trump and at least some of his underlings already have. The Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact 2.0. The US takes whatever it can get from Canada, Greenland and Central-/South-America and Russia gets free hand in Europe, possibly supported by China. Maybe China gets Taiwan. Watching Trunps actions, I think this is a real possibility. Nobody should trust the US.
