NATO has always been a US project. Without the US there is no NATO, Europe can't even produce basic stuff like explosives at this point. And if you don't understand that the US turning on Europe is the direct outcome of the war, what else is there to say really.

The Us is turning on Europe because russia is not worth keeping an alliance anymore

Unless you think that russia is more of a danger now than it was during cold war

Russia has never been an actual danger to the west, but it has been a great bogey man to keep Europeans under the US control. Europe was relevant to the US during Cold War because USSR posed an ideological threat to the dictatorship of capital. Now that Russia is capitalist, Europe has lost its value and it's going to be cannibalized so that the US can focus on their new adversary in the Asia. Hence why NATO is now done.
