    NATO invincibility myth being shattered is really important because now everyone can see that NATO can be fought and it can be defeated. And completely agree that the relations between US and Europe are very likely to sour going forward. Once it starts sinking in that Europe got cynically used by US, there’s going to be a backlash.
