    Well Rutte’s job is basically to keep NATO together, can’t blame him for trying. Personally I would not be sad if NATO chucked the US and told them to pack their bases all around Europe and go home. But I understand Rutte’s position.

      Rutte is trans-atlanticist. These people will do anything to keep the peace with the US.
      They’re Joshua Wongers with diplomatic talent.

      I’d love it if that happened, but that would also mean the dissolution of NATO, so I don’t see why NATO would motion to kill itself voluntarily.

        NATO could very well exist without the US in it. It’s not like the other members can trust the US to help at this point.
