    You know Canada is a NATO founding member, don’t you?

    You know, you’re right. The alliance is already there.

    But the USA is also in it… could NATO even defend Europe against Russia, against the US’ will?

      They can’t even take one country, let alone “Europe”. Would it be better with the US in our corner? For sure. But to think the current Russia could take anything except for small parts here and there is laughable. And this only because mother Russia doesn’t give a shit about her children.

        I think you misunderstand. This:

        could NATO even defend Europe against Russia, against the US’ will?

        was a question about how NATO internals work, decision making and bureaucracy, not raw firepower.

          As I understand it, each country decided. But I’m not a NATO scholar. I’d be happy for someone more knowledgeable to chime in.
