Region is destabilizing as we speak and without strong NATO presence it's gonna get whole lot worse. The problem is, NATO doesn't exist anymore beside the name (consider recent French/Greek actions against Turkey) and none of it's members is really interested in sorting things out. If Belarus is eventually flipped completely to Russian influence (this is happening now; Belarus was kind of no-mans-land for the last 30 years, but it's changing to Russian advantage) then things will get much more dire real fast.
If countries like Norway has a credible defence and a robust answer to russian manouvres we do not need assistance from US to give a appropriate response and we can properly maintain NATO security without bringing the US.
Strong European NATO partners = Local solutions to local challenges.
Trump must act on Turkey/Greece. I do not like turkeys action, nor what might look like a weak german response in the face of Erdogan.

I hear that, but the old adage of “if your neighbor is being invaded, you are being invaded” will not play well at all in the 21st century..
Trumpism will lead to increased stability.
