The problem is that the US is such an integral part of NATO that it can’t really function without it. The US is command and control for all NATO units and there really isn’t that capability anywhere else. It would take years, maybe even a decade of focused effort to change this. At this point probably best to start with some other treaties like what the scandanavians are doing and expand from there.
It has an important role, yes. But NATO has regional command and control structures in place. Right now they have some US officers in each of them. But this can be changed rather quickly. Dependence on US arms manufacturing is quickly going away as Europe ramps up its own production.
