    Why would the EU withdraw from NATO? What has NATO done to piss them off?

      It’s in my comment above, but I’m happy to repeat it for you: By threatening to invade Greenland, the US has threatened a founding member of NATO with a war of aggression.

      NATO isn’t pissing itself off, just one of its member countries is pissing off all the others: the US.

        Right, so the EU wouldn’t withdraw from NATO, they would kick the US out of it.

        Although NATO has survived hotter internal conflicts before, it can probably come out of this intact if Trump turns out to be an abberation.
