What's interesting is that in the UK, Corbyn was just elected (again) the president of the second major party (not currently in power) on a platform of stopping UK's nuclearly-armed submarines (essentially the UK's only nuclear deterrent). Which is similar, yet a bit different (the US can protect itself even without NATO, the UK can't without nuclear submarines), to what Trump's saying, yet (many) people still wanted it!

Who controls Europe controls Eurasia. Who controls Eurasia controls all of the world besides the Americas. The endgame of an united Eurasia is a failure from the USA national security POV.
