The United States and Russia were the leading forces on the respective Western and Eastern Fronts in the Second World War. The United States propped up Britain and Russia with Lend-Lease to keep them alive until the U.S.A. entered the war. The Second World War was very costly for the United States and the other allies. President Trump is correct asking N.A.T.O. members to pay an equal share of the cost of N.A.T.O.
Yet better diplomacy would reduce the need for N.A.T.O. Simply getting on well with Russia would nearly eliminate it’s need to exist. What would be useful would be a better international pool of rapid response forces for emergent situations.
Bureaucracies once established are difficult to reduce. That is why a new space force may help to support development of human commercial ventures around the solar system. A new electro-magnetic mass driver to send cargo modules off world like machine gun bullets into orbit is an idea worth pursuing.
Europeans have always found a way to start wars with one another. The last general war wrecked much of Europe so they have a peacenik attitude, correctly. However their deep nature of racking other nations- such as not renegotiating the Brexit deal with England, illustrates the deeper character.
It is hard to imagine why N.A.T.O. could be useful in a war with China, yet a Chinese-Russian alliance to invade Europe would be a problem N.A.T.O. could respond to when off holiday.
