"For instance, I've heard that there is now an American president who thinks NATO is a shit idea"
I hear he is sick of the US picking up the bill for European defence. Which is a reasonable statement.
"and an unusually close personal relationship with the Russian dictator"
You may want to make comments about Germany too since it relies on Russian gas. That probably holds more weight than Trump in bed with the Russians.
"or the US pulling out of NATO entirely"
If we imagine that scenario then Europe is screwed. Currently the European resources for NATO come from few countries, the UK being one and France being another major contributor. There being a massive shortage that the Russians would roll over without much effort. If the US pulls out of NATO then Europe has little defence.
"The British, on the other hand, probably don't, since we are now out of the EU and will soon be free to do whatever the Americans tell us."
Why would we give ourselves to the US? Just because we whored ourselves out to the EU doesnt mean we have to do the same for someone else.
