The governments of several countries did seek NATO membership, but the overall populations have generally been at best neutral or even against NATO.
Especially the occupying US bases are almost universally disliked.
- stoltzmann 5y agoPolls done in the 90s in the Eastern European countries provide a picture contrary to what you're claiming here. As an example - Poland (my home country), https://www.cbos.pl/SPISKOM.POL/2022/K_040_22.PDF https://www.cbos.pl/SPISKOM.POL/2022/K_040_22.PDF - 60% of population willing to join NATO in 1999. Only 11% against. You also should consider that support for NATO today is at a level of 94%.
- trevorboaconstr 5y agoYour statement is contrary to the information I’m seeing. Can you provide an example, please?
- jskrablin 5y agoMost NATO members from East Europe/ex communist countries held referendums on NATO membership. And I can't recall a single state that would join NATO against the will of general population. Happy to be proven wrong if my memory failed me.
- watwut 5y agoThat is just not true.
