General (General discussion, talk about anything.)
I my opinion, it is that America could not pull out of NATO, because to do so would be to the detriment of the American military, because basically NATO is American, and many NATO bases have uses other than to counter the Russian threat.
Then there is the American Military Industrial Complex, that is very important to the American economy, as are links between the various Military Industrial Complexes of the other NATO countries, the militaries of the NATO countries are so entwined with each other, that if America left, it would be like a form of military Brexit.
But in it's simplified theory, the present NATO countries without America, would be more than capable of not only defending, but beating Russia in a future conventional war, and ourselves and the French could do a lot of damage to Russia in the event of a nuclear war.
