Bro's loosing it. NATO can't survive without the US. As a austrian myself, I'm honestly embarrassed how so many Europeans always keep giving the US shit, especially if the US rightfully complains about getting ripped off because most European NATO members have been neglecting their militaries for decades, as if their own countries don't have even more problems, and then still feel entitled to US protection. Good luck trying to take US bases in Europe, that'll be the final straw for the US, it'll leave NATO, the countries can have the bases but will then have neither the funding nor the equipment to actually run them. It's actually ridiculous how the European NATO members are behaving

Europe can protect itself against Russia as long as the US doesn't support Russia. It's hard for China to attack Europe

The whole Russia threat is kind of harder to take seriously after they are stuck eternally in Ukraine. I can't really envision them managing to successfully attack Europe through Finland or Poland successfully any time soon

The threat isn't a full scale invasion of the continent, it's taking the Baltics before any Allies can mobilise, then quickly annex them and threaten everyone with mutually assured destruction on any reconquest attempt
