Europeans dropping the US security guarantee means they'll have to spend money they don't have on defense. Plus there are too many European states that want the US over any plausible alternative. Poland, Romania, and the Baltic states are going to take a Franco-German military bloc over what they get now? No way.

True , US is subsiding European defense yet #1 priority of politicians is to be re-elected and #2 to serve their financial overlords . Trump's economic policy is destroying #1 and #2 at the same time . As about blocks in WW2 Germany took over France because the French didn't want to fight , they were disappointing by their governments and understood the futility of sacrificing 6 more millions of men or more to defend against someone they didn't particularly hated .
