I can too. NATO, without US taxpayer money, is over.
It’s not military.. It’s economic.
Citizens will demand Gov caves. When they are alotted X hrs per day of electricity. As they don;t have the resources to produce 24*7 100% power throigh wind and solar. They have shut down most Nukes and Most Coal.
Energy will sent to “national priority” locations. Not the peons.
Gas rationed as “national security”. trucks will not deliver materials to places that make stuff. “non essential goods” will not hit shelves. massive layoffs.
And home heat, rationed or shut off..
Forced relocation from rural to Cities for better “distribution of resources”
basically, a Govt power grab on a massive scale.
