If America started throwing its political weight against European donors this would further increase the chances of it drying up. Ultimately, if they want to go ahead and play Russian roulette much of their own defence and security depends on some level on the USA for supplies, intelligence, logistics and leadership. Never mind economic levers short of outright sanctions.
My guess is the dominos would fall quickly. Global Britain, Germany, France and the EU would lead the way.

Your first sentence is a Kremlin narrative and profoundly unserious.
The rest …. The only way America might attempt to definitively pull the plug would be in a Trump presidency, which, leaving aside how likely that really is, is unlikely to indulged in European capitals in 2025 in the way it was in 2017. He is now very much a known quantity. But we have a thread for that.
