Considering last night's results, I don't expect NATO to be credible 4 years from now (sh.itjust.works)

Nato without USA is still bigger military than Russia.

But with a fraction of the nukes, which is the actual big stick part of NATO

A lot of that is because rest of NATO is under US umbrella. Not like nukes are high tech at this point. Most of Europe could get nukes real fast if they wanted, but everyone has been better served by it being to many Nuclear Powers up to this point

And I expect they will get nukes real fast. Ukraine is probably going to go for that, tbh. It’s kinda their only option at this point.
