And that's as far as a comparable example I can find to where NATO risked fracture.
NATO never found itself in a situation where the largest contributor was threatening the sovereignty of other member nations, or one indicating friendship to NATO's main adversary, Russia, during a European war.

Sending troops, still up to the president.
So, it's basically nice, warm, cosy, but totally useless in case of a real war.
Sorry - I hate to state that.
Take a look at this video from Perun, about the unexpectedly large resources Non-US NATO possess.
Add Ukrainians to the mix and you have the force multiplier of battlefield experience.
