    This map forgets that the US have direct access to bases in NATO countries.

    Trump could just send troops in the open to the bases, and then turn around on the local forces.

    US taking over NATO countries will not be a Normandie style sea landing, they would break out of our own bases having disabled them first.

      People coming up with scenarios like that forget that the US would have huge supply lines to keep those bases going while the other country is literally right there. And it is not as if you would need to besiege a modern military base for months to starve them out.
