This is not a surprise. One of the main points of NATO in the first place is to prevent nuclear proliferation. If the US is going to close its "nuclear umbrella", all of our allies are going to make their own.

Also, if people are not aware, Poland has the highest % GDP dedicated to military in the Europe, outspending even the US. Their military has bought and stocked up on every single advanced weapon system. It cannot be understated how badly they were treated the USSR and how much they don't want to dragged into the Russian sphere again should Ukraine fall.

Also the isolationist argument "it's cheaper for USA to exit the long-term commitments to enforce the world order and hide behind the beautiful 2 oceans" is akin to let's not pay the cops to patrol the streets and let people buy weapons to protect themselves.

So USA would get less security, less help from their NATO partners and less power projection over the world because they have limped NATO.

Idiocracy...
