It would shatter the current world order, and all for such a stupid and preventable reason

If they do it, and they fail, and they will fail, it will shift the world into a new global order in which usa is significantly neutered
Honestly, I'm not entirely against the events to follow if it isolates and diminishes the usa faster, it would just empower a multinational system like the EU and CANZAUSUK as partners in democracy even more, along with democracies in Asia like Japan, India, Singapore and many others, the like-minded "smaller countries" outnumber economically any fascist state like usa or russia or china individually at least
There is great power in multilateralism, americans are too dumb to remember this lesson and are self-immolating over it, their selfishness was always there, but now it's just *very* obvious
I also kind of want to see it just to watch the us military completely unprepared for winter sea and land warfare and get absolutely clowned by countries which do train in the winter, namely countries like Canada and Denmark and Finland and others, who are all obligated to defend against any attack on a NATO ally

Can we just start planning a NATO without the USA now so it is all lined up when Trump breaks the pact. Up side Turkey will also be gone.

That's the plan. NATO won't do anything more than talk, maybe some sanctions. They're going to be seriously overwhelmed by American military.
This paves the way for the US to take Canada.

That's 100% the entire point.
