- cardosof 5y ago'Keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down' Words of the first NATO secretary. So, if people start a club to avoid you and you know it, applying to it is a troll move, no?
- dillondoyle 5y agobecause they didn't fit the requirements. Mainly have to be a Democracy with more fair law & government.
- pasquinelli 5y agolooking at some of these member states: you sure about that?
- Schiendelman 5y agoYes. My god man, google the issue.
- dillondoyle 5y agoMost of the countries are pretty high on Democracy index. Some higher than US. Turkey comes to mind as the only standout. There is a general trend towards autocracy in the last years in places like that. Which is sad and a threat to the world imho. But even Turkey (which is probably the least democratic nato member?) isn't comparable to Russia. looking at a map the rest of NATO all fits in the green shade on the democracy index. And also just the basic membership requirement: consensus vote by existing members. So kind of pointless it's trolling from the start. Plus respecting borders one of the founding principles lol. Could look at civ control of military too. turkey is super complicated there. the autocrat definitely does not have control, the opposite. Unlike putin. But in turkey that's also scary and no so comforting for collaboration.
