That would be grounds for Impeachment if he tries without it. (Caveat: if the Repubs in Congress have the cajones to stand up to him).

Trump can't launch a WW on his own. He will find NATO on his way. Not a single serious leader will ever follow him.

He has zero (less than zero !) credibility in the eye of many European leaders.

Also, I'm not sure the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, will follow him.
