One advantage of AmeriKKKa's democracy simulation has always been that Dems and GOP can play a good cop - bad cop routine when it comes to NATO. Trump (and Dubya before him) does a unilateralism to bully Europe into more military spending, then Biden (and Obama before him) comes into office and reassures the countries that have just gutted their welfare and education systems a bit further to field another anti aircraft brigade that the benevolent hegemon in D.C. will ofc always have their back and that it will pay off for them to remain loyal vassals.
