>>936386946Supreme military commander of NATO is a US general, and always has been, and always will be, by design. US is the de facto leader of the alliance. Civilian leadership that liaisons with governments is traditionally European, but nobody joins NATO for the civilian liaison, they join it for the military might of America. NATO only formed because of America, and without America it would collapse. There is no way to join NATO without unanimous approval of all members, but American approval is the only one that really matters.
