The thing is, if NATO is worth anything at all. Hitting a NATO country would bring a lot of declarations in a very short order. It would get very WW3, very quickly.
That’s assuming Europe wasn’t economically stretched already, and America didn’t have an incoming president who wasn’t more interested in fellating Putin.
Even if there’s financial concerns in Europe. We DO have reasonably strong airforces, modern weaponry and several nuclear enabled countries. I think it would be a big risk to take in their current position.
My main concern is Trump tries to coerce Europe to leave Ukraine to fight alone. It all depends on how much in Putin’s pocket he is.

He’s so far in Putin’s pocket that he’s snuggling up to his nutsack.
Europe isn’t nearly so financially stretched as Russia, and its economy is an order of magnitude bigger.
That is a bit of a wildcard, isn’t it.
Europe hasn’t even started stretching. The fact it refuses to is the reason it looks stretched.
Same way you go bankrupt; slowly, and then all at once.
