>Germany and other European nations explored possible responses, including invoking NATO’s Article 5, though it was ruled out due to US veto power.

They could reorganize as “NOT-U” under all the same terms but without the US.
-
"We'll make our own NATO, with blackjack and hookers!"
-
Yes, a new military alliance and other new non-US Western treaties needs to happen. Badly.
Although, he's saying he wants 5% spending from all members now, so maybe he's still planning to "shoot himself in the foot" by leaving.
-
NATO has no provision to remove members. It's even worse than the EU where they need 100% support from other members.
Stop doing that, Western leaders. 3/4 vote should be enough for anything.

Yeah, we really need an external European defence sphere at the very least. No amount of maple syrup (or rare earth metals) is too great a cost.
-
Two of those are Commonwealth countries. Maybe a common defense mechanism could be agreed. Instead of Iron Dome, it could be called King Dome.
-
I guess, but the UK is a pretty shit-tier nuclear power. I'd really want it to include France.
-
That was the CSTO and Armenia says the only good thing it had was the hookers...
-
You could make all kinds of jokes about king dome come.

There's nothing stopping them from just ignoring the veto of the country they're worried about...
