The equivalent of doing it to the American would be if America finally decides foolishly to go to war against China and nato, and asean choose to stay neutral
The North Atlantic Pact (NAP) , also known as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in the "west", is a Anglo-American project and foreign policy tool first and foremost. The de-facto leader of this organization is the Neocon/Neolib US, given the organization's funding distribution and command structure. It amazes me that so many people still fall for the same old Anglo-American misinformation and propaganda tricks. The NAP was never , at any point in time, been an "equal member society". When i hear calls that the US should "leave" the NAP , i just roll my eyes. If the US decided to leave its pet-project , the NAP would cease to exist within a short amount of time. The US will never "leave" or abandon this tool because it would seriously diminish its control over its European satellite/vassal states.
What I fear is, as the US desperation towards a changing world increases, that the US might miscalculate catastrophically by either crossing the line in Europe , in Asia or in both theaters. Believing that its satellite/vassal states in the NAP will continue to support its aggressive and malign behavior in Europe and Asia could embolden the Neocon/Neolib US to cross a red line. I sincerely hope it does not come to that and that even the most far-right (really fascist) nut jobs (i.e. Pompeo, Cotton, Rubio, Cruz,etc.) in the Neocon/Neolib US will come to their senses before it gets too far. But maybe just in the case of Nazi Germany , the leadership of the Neocon/Neolib US might be "too far gone" to be reasoned with, especially after they have doubled down on believing their own lies and general BS.
I sincerely hope that my observation and statement is just a hyperbole.
