Cut the Cord: Why It's Time for the G6 to Bury NATO and Let America Drift

By Adaptation Guide

---

In five months, Donald Trump did what Cold War superpowers failed to do in 80 years: he shattered the Western alliance. Not with bombs or threats — but with tariffs, tweets, and contempt.

While the world watched in disbelief as the U.S. twisted itself into an economic fortress of fear and isolationism, the so-called allies — Canada, Germany, France, Britain, Japan, and others — kept clinging to the rotting husk of Pax Americana. That era is over. And it’s time we said so.

G6: Time to Move On. Without the U.S.

Let’s drop the dead weight. The “G7” is a lie. The United States has openly declared its retreat. 

Economically, militarily, diplomatically — Trump’s America has become a rogue actor in decline. So let’s make it official: strip the '7' and go full G6.

America First? Fine. We accept the breakup. 

But here's the reality: the rest of the world doesn’t need to die for America’s internal delusions. 

Europe, Canada, Japan — we’ve got our own economies, our own industries, our own values. We survived COVID without U.S. leadership. We can survive this.

Let Trump turn America into a gated community of angry Boomers and billionaire prepper bunkers. 

Let the 77 million MAGA voters and the 90 million non-voters stew in their stagnant democracy. 

The rest of us need to build a post-American world — and fast.

NATO: Let It Die or Reinvent It Without the U.S.

NATO once stood as a bulwark against Soviet aggression. But today, it's a ghost chained to an unreliable corpse. 

Article 5 — that sacred commitment to mutual defense — means nothing when the largest military power in the alliance has one foot out the door and the other kicking its allies in the teeth.

Let’s call the bluff.

Send U.S. troops home. Build a new NATO. A European Defence Union. A G6 Security Compact. 

Let Britain and France extend their nuclear umbrella over Eastern Europe. Let Poland, the Baltics, and Scandinavia organize an actual, modern frontline. 

Let Canada guard the Arctic — not as a token U.S. appendage, but as an autonomous regional power.

If America wants out, then get out.

This is not a tantrum. It’s realpolitik. It's survival.

Rearm or Die? Yes. But Not the American Way

Trump tells allies to spend more on defense — while sabotaging the economic systems that make that spending possible. 

How do you pay for tanks when your export economy is dying under tariffs?

Here’s the bind: rearm, or be crushed by Russia, China, and chaos. 

But also: rearm, and risk collapsing your health care, your pensions, your schools. No modern liberal democracy has ever pulled that off — except maybe during the Cold War. And that came at a price.

So let’s be blunt:

• If Europe and Canada don’t build their own defense industries, they’ll remain vassals to the U.S. military-industrial complex.

• If we copy U.S. procurement disasters, we’ll waste billions on overpriced junk — F-35s, anyone?

• If we ignore public consent, the backlash will be catastrophic.

The people need to know what they’re arming against. And here’s the truth:

The threat is no longer just tanks on a border — it’s AI-enhanced cyberwar, Arctic incursions, climate militarism, and hybrid disinformation warfare.

This is war 3.0. And we need new doctrine, not American leftovers.

Hard Truth: The U.S. Has Already Picked a Side — Its Own

The U.S. is not just retreating — it’s actively destabilizing the world order it once built.

• In the Middle East, it’s no longer the balancer — it’s the arsonist, greenlighting Israeli strikes that escalate proliferation.

• In East Asia, its unreliability pushes Japan and South Korea toward nuclear options.

• In Europe, it emboldens Putin with its ambivalence.

• At home, it’s sliding toward civil conflict, with white nationalism normalized, voting rights gutted, and the Supreme Court operating as a theocratic council.

So let’s stop pretending America is still the leader of the free world.

It is not.

It is a heavily armed, internally unstable, economically divided state with no consensus on its role in the world. 

Waiting for the next election to “fix things” is like waiting for the next hurricane to water your garden.

The Plan: Post-American Security for a Post-American World

We survived a pandemic. We can survive this. But we need a real plan:

1. G6 Economic Pact: Ditch U.S. economic dependence. Create trade alliances that reward climate responsibility, not MAGA trade war tantrums.

2. New NATO: Establish a post-U.S. mutual defense pact. Start with the willing: Germany, France, Poland, Baltics, Canada, Japan. Expand later.

3. Nuclear Autonomy: Let Europe replace the U.S. nuclear umbrella. Expand civil debate about non-proliferation vs. independent deterrence.

4. Digital Defense Alliance: Build a shared AI/cyberwarfare capability to protect critical infrastructure and elections from foreign (and American) interference.

5. Military with a Mandate: Communicate to the public why we are arming — and what we're protecting. Democracy, sovereignty, energy security, climate stability.

Conclusion: Cut the Cord or Choke on It

For 80 years, we’ve lived under Pax Americana. And it worked — until it didn’t.

Now we face a simple choice:

Rebuild the Western alliance without America — or watch the entire postwar order collapse.

Let the U.S. do what it wants. 

Let it merge with Russia if that’s what it takes to satisfy Trump’s ego and Putin’s fantasies. 

The rest of us — the real allies, the true believers in democracy and justice — need to move forward, together.

Cut the cord. Build anew. Or perish waiting for a savior who’s not coming.

📣 Get involved. Share this. 

Start conversations. Demand your government step up — not to follow, but to lead. 

The age of waiting for Washington is over. The age of sovereign solidarity begins now.
