    No country has ever been forced to join NATO. a country has to apply to join and a defensive alliance only works if all members are willing

      They are made to be willing by funding politicains that secretly support it. When they get in power, they join without the support of their people. CIA has a long history of medeling in elections and this statement that it is willing is of course manufactured, as most of the democratic processes are.

        all the superpowers have a long history in meddling with each other domestic affairs. it’s a superpower thing, not a NATO thing

        CIA != NATO

          I completely agree about all superpowers.

          CIA and NATO are very close.
