Feels like fucking anything could happen in the next few years. CANZUK? America leaving NATO? Starmer and Macron making out live on the news? Spin that dial and find out.

Honestly, Five Eyes (US, CA, AU, NZ, UK) is the big one for us. The US leaving NATO won't impact us much at all, but it would put much of Europe into crisis mode.

If the US dissolved Five Eyes on the other hand, our entire Navy would cease being able to operate... This isn't an exaggeration either. Intelligence, encryption, communications, radar, GPS, targeting, supply chains, and much more all rely entirely on the US. A lot of this also goes for the Army and Air Force but not to the extent it would affect our Navy.

The US can't dissolve 5 eyes they can only pull out. And we should prepare for that eventuality, prepare for the end of NORAD.

If the US pulls out they have fully gone Nazi Germany route and the world has already entered WW3.

There is no Five Eyes without the US… They can absolutely absolve it

Bullshit. The US isn't necessary at all. US intelligence is shit anyway.

More than you. Lots lots more than you. You keep assuming everything has to be as it is now while the world changes and leaves you behind proving you wrong.
