The rest of Nato lacks the ability to move large amounts of troops and material across the Atlantic. The handful of ships they have would be easy targets for the US Navy since the rest of Nato is also severely lacking in that area as well. Their navies are well trained, but simply too small to be effective. Their force projection capabilities is limited. In fact, basically every Nato countries defensive plan hinges around US forces already stationed in Europe taking part in the initial defense and US forces starting to deploy with 24hrs of any invasion, with a large reinforcement within a week.
If we were to actually invade, Canada would fall within days and there isn't much the rest of Nato can do about it.
