That’s the idea. But are we sure? Are we really really sure? Is President Trump really going to send the full might of the U.S. army into East because Latvia was invaded?
A lot is riding on that answer, and it has never been more in doubt than it is now.
I mean one of the poorest nations in Europe stopped Russia. Nato without the US is fine.
I’m not sure if NATO without the U.S. is even able to scratch its own butt. We’d be missing a lot of assets that are not easily replaceable, especially in intelligence collection and logistics.
Not to mention the industrial capacity to keep the show going past the first few weeks.
Intelligence yes, from what I know.
Industrial capacity? It's not like the rest of these countries are not industrialized. There would be some adjustment aches, but let's not act like the rest of Nato can't find its own ass.
I’m talking specifically about military industry. We have some really nice EU defense companies that can produce all sorts of war fighting equipment, but we’re nowhere near the levels of the pork-barrel fed US military industrial complex.
No. Fucking. Shit. And I replied in the context of military industry.
