      Too late to keep NATO intact. The pact is still there to share intelligence and sell weapons but I don’t think anyone sane still thinks that US will send soldiers to defend its allies. That being said EU will try to maintain the illusion as long as possible. They will definitely not directly fight US. If US sends troops there EU will respond with sanctions. Until that happens they will keep negotiating and try to minimize the damage without making Trump angry.

      How now brown cow? It started today. We will see if it’s my prediction or yours that bears out in the next few days.

        Yeah, indeed. Fwiw I hope you’re right. Although I don’t think this process is going to take just a few days, even at the rate things have been going the last few years that’s too fast.
