Just because the U.S. leaves NATO does not mean NATO will be "destroyed." Ridiculous. Trump thinks because other NATO countries won't go to Iran that NATO is useless. NATO countries are NOT bound to go to a war that was instigated by another member. NATO is there for when a NATO ally is attacked. Not for when a NATO member starts a war!

Krasnov was created by the KGB to destroy the US, NATO and the West. There is no turning back for Trump. He will do everything on Putin's orders.

So NATO could replace the US for Ukraine in the future. Sounds like a fair trade, certainly more trustworthy and reliable.
