This largely relies on Europe getting its shit together in the face of a sudden trans-Atlantic shift. The resources are there; the question is the timeline. Everyone's scrambling to figure out what NATO actually is, which provides this wedge.

@Powderhorn I think the incentive is there. The new chancellor of Germany is very americano-sceptic (given the current situation) and I do not think France will stand aside. Denmark is facing a possible future aggressor so it's more likely to also push for europenism and other states might follow suit as well. Right now we're caught off-guard indeed.
