    There is no such thing as the “North Atlantic” it is a nonsensical organization, there is no logical reason for the US and Canada to be in a millitary alliance based on the made up polity of the “North Atlantic”, not saying that European countries shouldn’t care about regional defense, but that has nothing to do with the US or Canada. Nato is just an excuse for the US to park it’s nukes and bases in Europe and extend it’s millitary power, no one needs nukes, and people especially don’t need foreign nukes in their country.

    edit: also Trump would never pull out of NATO, the farthest he would ever go is threaten and then coerce European countries pay more of a share of the budget and say he made a “better deal”, but he’s quite obviously bluffing

        They are not nearly as large or as capable as what the US has though

            If it was that simple, the US would have stopped producing missiles and warheads a long time ago

                That’s misleading at best. W76-2 began production a few years ago. B61-12 recently began production with B61-13 on the way. The current US stockpile may be down from its cold war height in bare numbers, but that’s not the point. The US is always improving its nuclear technology and refitting, upgrading, or re-manufacturing its existing stockpile. Clearly “wiping out humanity” is not enough.
