The rift b/w the #US and its #NorthAmerican, neighbors, #Canada and Mexico, offers huge chances for a new world order.
As #MAGA #DonaldTrump singlehandedly keeps alienating the US stauchest, quite like erstwhile Allies, the remaining #NATO members can reshape the Alliance to their purposes
Furthermore, amalgamating the economies of the other 2 erstwhile #European colonies to the #EU might even...

Hopefully, #Tรผrkiye "s president has seen the same glimpse of the future and remembers the conflicts with Czarist #Russia. Making #NATO independent from the #US has suddenly become a central #NationalSecurity 101.

I don't disagree with your assessment of the current situation.
However, in a world where the German chancellor elect says rearmament will be done "whatever it takes," where the #CAN #PM all but calls the #POTUS dumb on prime time TV, and the President of #Uraine gets thrown out of the #WhiteHouse, I forecast enough fluidity also in the #UK for things to change in many respects until years end.
