    Because so far, American money and military muscle is needed to stop Russia in Ukraine and deter it from further adventures in Europe.

        As long as we are not willing provide the money and muscle ourselves, I see no other alternative to trust them.

          Europe needs to build up defenses. If trump gets back in power there is a good chance he will drop out of NATO. He wants closer ties with Russia, and was previously impeached over actions against Ukraine.

          I wouldn’t be surprised if he switched sides and aligned with Russia. It can get worse than just losing support when it comes to trump.
