I mean, that’s not happening right though, is i? I presume if there were such an alliance, it would be because there are benefits to joining one. Maybe that’s why there aren’t any as you described. NATO isn’t the result of some hypothetical thought experiment. It exists because it offers tangible benefits to its members.
