As we know, or should know, NATO was originally a post-WWII British creation. Britain even came out and said that the purpose of NATO with respect to Europe was to "keep America in, Russia out, and Germany down." That has been NATO's script for lo these many years.
But then there was Charles De Gaulle, president of France from 1958-1968, until he was forced to resign due to demonstrations sponsored by MI6 and the CIA in one of the first of many "color revolutions." De Gaulle saw the EU as extending "from Lisbon to the Urals." Alas, his vision was crushed by the viciousness of the Anglo-American-Zionist Empire.
After the fall of the Soviet Union, when he had become president of Russia, Putin asked Clinton if Russia could join NATO. Clinton said he would ask his "advisers" and came back saying "No."
A quarter of a century has now passed.
The Empire has been defeated due to the failed NATO proxy war in Ukraine and the unmasking of terrorist Israel. NATO is crumbling before our eyes, despite Starmer's 100-year deal with Zelensky to sponsor unending terrorism against Russia.
If Trump and his team have been listening to the likes of Col. Douglas Macgregor, they know all this.
Plus we now see Europe revolting--in Hungary, Slovakia, and now Germany and possibly even Britain. Musk; i.e., Trump, is facilitating it.
Is Trump finally ready to lower the boom on NATO, which he can do simply by reaching a reasonable accommodation with Putin? Half or more of Europe is hoping so.
We can hope too, can't we?

I heard somewhere that military shipments to Ukraine through Europe have been stopped (probably a speaker on CapitalCosm Club). The drone fireworks against Russia are a final effort. Both actions are a prelude to a negotiated peace which will be on Russian terms. So yes, I think NATO will soon be disbanded.
Here's hoping!
