In OTL France withdrew from NATO's military command in the 60's under De Gaulle's leadership. While De Gaulle's Anti-Americanism is legend, it is not hard to see an ATL where De Gaulle (or a leader to the left of De Gaulle) withdrawing France from NATO entirely.
Across the Channel, the UK in OTL has had its share of political figures skeptical of America (Powell, Foot, Bevan), given the right ATL, a plausible scenario could be made for UK exiting NATO.
So if the UK and France left NATO and repudiated the US at any time up until 1980, could NATO survive?
Would it lead to US withdrawal from Western Europe?
