    Are you implying that if the USA stopped projecting force globally NATO would continue deter aggression like it does now? I doubt that but I’m open to changing my perspective.

      I am saying that the general statement about the US power keeping countries from invading is not true on its own, but that the multi country agreement that includes the US is the important part.

      Sure, most of NATOs military power comes from the US, but the overall power comes from being a united front of multiple countries.

        We can agree on that.
