I would equate this to what is going on with DOGE and the budget right now. It's distantly possible that NATO could be reformed but things are so bad at this point that it would be better to get out of the bloat that is NATO and let things settle and then if we wanted to recreate something from scratch with some european countries then do that. Maybe we want to let Europe be Europe for a while and focus vertically on the western hemisphere like Trump has stated.
I don't think that is true anymore. They are pretty much socialists, believe that the government should provide everything, and have mostly lost religion. They also still have royalty in multiple countries. They have been indoctrinated into not defending themselves, had guns taken away in most of the countries, and allow things like the regulation of a simple knife. They also don't have free speech.
Of course there are examples of patriotism and self-sufficiency but they are not the norm anymore in the EU. Example - the UK had some pro-Trump rallies in London, which is a good sign. However - how many of those marchers would post about it on social media and risk being arrested? They ultimately cow to the government.
The EU is teetering on the brink of irrelevancy and extinction.
We do still have the same values as the citizens of EU....just not the deepstate....same as here in the US.
