These days I wonder if NATO is not much more than an idealistic thought. As the title of the post suggests, If China were to attack the US, would the rest of NATO come to our aid? As I considered it, I wonder if it would do any good if they even tried.

If the US and Russia climb in the ring and started exchanging blows, what do you suppose the rest of the world would do? Do you think the UN would do much more than sit on their hands? Could they actually reason with Putin? For that matter, would they try to convince him that it’s the wrong thing to do?

It is a scary thought. However, I do believe we need to consider it. It very likely would not happen. However, if it did happen, it would be a little late to consider then.
