NATO without the US is dependent on each (simplifying) EU nation’s military.
The EU, like sane people, focused on their own economies and people. The US focused on having one of (if not THE) largest standing militaries on the planet.
And with war increasngly on the horizon? Most NATO nations aren’t going to want to deploy their troops until THEY are “safe”.
We’ve already seen it with the hemming and hawing over what to actually send Ukraine in terms of weaponry
It doesn’t have to be the death of NATO, provided the US leaves it.
If they don’t, though, yeah, probably the end of NATO. There’s no mechanism for revoking a member’s membership.
