I love naive cynicism. There’s very little more unpersoning than that. Sure, buddy, the US was able to maintain a massive alliance structure because it was about fleecing its allies, which presumably never realized that or something.

It’s the silliest thing.

TL;DR: even if NATO had announced its dissolution the day the Soviet Union collapsed, the reality of NATO military integration meant it would have actually been a 10-20 year plan to dissolve NATO.

No, NATO persisted for years because NATO is for countries what combined arms is for militaries. Every NATO country is integrated militarily and ultimately plans its defense around NATO membership, meaning that they either lack certain capabilities entirely or in sufficient quantity. Removing a country from NATO would require its own decade-long investment in replacing the capabilities it gets from NATO. That would be made more difficult because the NATO commitment itself solves political problems in military spending by shaping its role in the overall structure.

Actually leaving NATO would require massive changes to a member’s military, so even if the government had that as a goal, it would be unlikely to leave for a decade or more just because it takes time to unwind and replace the NATO structure.
