@TexChik would NATO survive, without American money, as far as I know, America put about 70% of the NATO budget in,
@ididntknow Is Mexico in some sort of NATO-like alliance with China?

" would NATO survive, without American money, as far as I know, America put about 70% of the NATO budget in,"
That 70% was approximately correct in dollars spent during 2023, but if you take into account PPP (purchasing power parity), as this chart does, the figure is about 55%.

And European military spending has increased substantially since 2023, thanks to Putin's "special military operation" in Ukraine.
I would guess the 2025 PPP figures would find the US spending about the same or even less than the rest of NATO, which would be about right, since the EU GDP is about the same as the US GDP.
