If NATO is dissolved, or Trump tries to change the rules mid-stream, it will just be yet another step in the collapse of the American empire and American hegemony. If Trump tries to play hardball with NATO member nations I can see them looking at the value NATO membership brings and pulling out themselves. At that point they can tell the US to GTFO and close American bases in their countries. The ability for America to project military power around the globe will be crippled and this will greatly affect its ability to influence in all spheres. I would love to see the reaction of my fellow Americans, and Canadians, as Trump shoots the country and military in the foot and sees their power reduced dramatically. Back to 1890 we go.
