If we fail to back any NATO declaration, we will be more vulnerable to joint attacks by previously self declared hostile nations with nuclear weapons. Trump would be asking for a takeover by China and N Korea, no matter what happens between the rest of the West and Russia. There's also no reason to believe that just because there are 32 member states of NATO, they'd come to our defense. We're supposed to come to their defense.

Even the US Military, the biggest in the world, would want to uphold the NATO treaty.
