The time to act was 8 years ago. It was obvious from Trump's first day in office that US withdrawal was going to be on the table, and possibly even the chance of US hostility if democratic institutions were to fully collapse. Europe probably isn't looking at an actual invasion from anyone in the near future, but their global interests are looking extremely vulnerable right now, and its their own fault as much as it is the fault of American voters.
