At this point, why would anyone pay into a defense pact that does literally nothing? And even if it did do something, why would Europe want to align with America against China and Russia when the latter are offering cheaper goods and energy?

IIRC, you don't give 2% of your GDP to NATO. NATO just requires that you spend 2% of your GDP on your own armed forces.
