America's allies are observing the weakness.
Perhaps they will come to agree with Douglas Macgregor that alliances are do not protect counties in an age of cheap drones and missiles produced using AI and kept underground.
They certainly don't protect against non state actors or migrants nor from being involved in America's foolish and/or illegal military adventures.
Nato was created for the Europe of the 1940s just as the European Economic Community, now renamed the European Union, is very much a 1950s 'big is beautiful' invention.
Both organisations are about preventing another Hitler, as so many things since 1945 have been.
At the present time Russia, China and Iran are considered Hitler by our rulers, along with anti-immigration politicians and people who march in sympathy with the Palestinians. Iran has been an evergreen Hitler since 1979, despite defeating much more Hitlerian figures like Saddam whom the US backed and supplied.
"Time serves Iran, not America.. A shortage of weapons, ammunition, and supply chains, along with crises facing the US Navy and Army, may make the continuation of the confrontation more costly for Washington." Larry Johnson, former CIA analyst
"America used to be the policeman of the world. Now it's become the pirate. In the short term, the strategy works. In the long term, the world will unify against this piracy." Jiang Xueqin
“I say with all my heart that we truly won this war, both militarily and politically. This does not mean that we destroyed the U.S. military. What I mean is that the United States and Israel attacked us with nine specific, declared objectives, but failed to achieve any of those nine objectives at any level. This was the greatest absolute defeat for the United States and the Zionist regime. In the diplomatic sphere as well, the agreement is a source of pride and a victory on the diplomatic battlefield.” Speaker of the Iranian Parliament Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf
