NATO cannot replace the UN, but it can be the more important multi- lateral institution, as a sort of club of developed nations (with a few exceptions).

If there are no reasons to belong at some future time, then we won't.

There is no reason for the UN to replace NATO, they are not interchangeable.

As far as the EU goes, I would doubt that they would become a military threat, but I am not as sure economically. There if still a lot of protectionist sentiment in Europe. It would be preferable if there were continued liberalization of world trade, and the EU could thwart that, by building a wall around its own customs union. This could harm relations between the US and the EU, because although protectionism helps our consumers, it hurts our producers, and people tend to focus on that......
