If I were any of the Baltic states (Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania), I would be in a serious panic right now. NATO being dissolved and a massively weakened EU is only going to encourage Russia to extend further Russian interference and eventual bullying of those States.
The Trump administration is a disaster for Western alliances and foreign policy right now and it is just insane how well Putin managed to pull all the strings behind the scenes. If you noticed the timelines for some of these things it's stupid how well they all lined up.
-EU/NATO crosses Russian "Red Line" in Ukraine. Russia deems in unacceptable that an EU controlled/friendly government right on it's border. EU topples Russian puppet regime and Putin responses with invasion
-EU/NATO responses with sanctions that extremely limit the Russian economy and it's ability to wage conventional warfare.
-Russia no longer has the resources to continue conventional arms conflict in full force so shifts it's focus to proxy warfare in Ukraine and EU. Aims to break up the EU
-Far right parties all across Europe get huge amounts of funds, including UKIP in England, Front Nationale in France, that French intelligence ties back to Russian central banks. Xenophobes and their message get spread enmasse
-Migrant crisis takes over in Europe because of a flood of refugees in Syria, which of course Russia is fighting in, plays right into all of the right wing nutjob parties
-Migrants go on a coordinated groping/rape fest in Germany on NYE that Germany investigates and ties back to the Kremlin
-Brexit happens after a campaign of xenophobic "get immigrants out" and "UK is better off without EU". Lines parroted by Farage Johnson, claims that were debunked within a couple of days of them being made.
-Trump is vehemently anti-Russian prior to the hiring of Paul Manafort, who previously worked on Russia's behest to install a Pro-Russian government in Ukraine. Trump does a complete 180 after Manafort's hiring, GOP eventually fall in line and removes arming Ukraine against from their policies.
-A day after the GOP falls in line, Wikileaks gets a huge cache of documents taken directly from the DNC.
-Trump elected over Hillary
To me this timeline points much more to a campaign of political manipulation on Russia's behalf. NATO, if it still exists after Trump becomes president, and other Western powers need to refocus much more to the changing needs of the war being fought. NATO still needs to exist to counter conventional threats, but can it given complete route Putin has pulled off on the political front? How can NATO continue to exist without the political will to back up it up?
