Primarily because all the billionaires outside of the US understand that the US leaving NATO (which imo will absolutely happen if Trump managed to gain a hold on power) would basically put them in existential danger from Russian expansionism, and potentially a full blown nuclear exchange + WW3 - because without us backstopping Europe, the Russians very well may be able to straight up saturation-strike most major European military bases, and just steamroll shit.
Don’t get me wrong - Russia is doing embarrassingly poorly against Ukraine, all things considered. But if the US becomes isolationist, Russia and China will likely take that to mean that it’s open season, and there really aren’t that many world powers outside of India that could credibly stand up to a full on combined onslaught from those two.
