It's not like American oil and gas companies will use their tankers to ship those things to Europe, but tankers will take a lot longer to sail from whichever part of the US they're extracting said oil and gas to which refinery in Europe they'll send it to.Where are these alternative pipelines going to come from? Syria was about that and they failed to overthrow the regime despite the horrific damage it caused. Sweden and Finland in NATO isn't really going to change that much, though it remains to be seen if either will pull that trigger, especially Finland.
NATO bases in Poland or the Baltics? LOL! Fuck no, no one is going to spend that kind of money. Germany will spend more to prop up their economy, but that's about it. The US cannot afford it and Germany is not going to build up enough to deploy forces east of their own country. France and Britain might make a show of things, but aren't going to build bases. Face it the west is impotent.
There's Bondsteel in the Balkans, but that's a whole different story.
