So… there’s a good chance that NATO – the pillar of global peace in the post-World War II era – is a spent force. Trump has probably broken NATO by saying that if Russia starts a war with European nations over Ukraine, they’re on their own, including the US’s NATO allies. It looks like the US is working on a pro-Russia peace settlement and forcing it on Ukraine without input from anyone else. Regardless of what happens in Ukraine, the message is loud and clear: The US is more on the side of Russia than its NATO allies in Europe.
