It is actually a little surprising (to me anyway) that Malta isn't on the list, especially considering how strategically important it was during WWII anyway. It also surprises me that Finland isn't on the list, considering it's historic strife against Russia. You would think that being directly on the Soviet Union's doorstep, and after the Winter War, the Finns would have been quick to jump on the NATO bandwagon!

Well, the U.S. had to choose side in the former Yugoslavia conflict and Serbia was not at that side. Because we were allies in the WW II we felt like we were betreyed. After that there was a bombing party in 1999. We really do not have good feelings about NATO. No one dares to sign such a document that could make Serbia a part of the NATO. It would be a suicidal act for sure.

When the USSR placed missiles on the United States' doorstep it almost lead to World War 3. Makes sense that Russia becomes nervous if they are surrounded by NATO members and bases (especially given the fact that there were probably promises not to expand NATO eastwards in 1990). This situation shouldn't make us Westerners thump our chests; we should be cautious.

NATO was founded to defend against potential aggression by the Soviet Union (Russia) and its satellites. It is in practice a mutual defense treaty which has been invoked against aggressive moves by Iraq (not communist), Bosnia (not communist), Serbia (not communist), the Taleban (not communist), and Libya (also not communist). Not to defend against political ideologies. It's most pressing concern is and always has been the defense of the European members against Russian/Soviet military strength. You can't bomb communism. Educate yourself.

If you're talking about the museum in Budapest that I referenced, yes, it is about communists. Specifically, Russian communists and those aligned with them. I visited twice. The regime in Hungary was not propped up by China or Cuba. and Hungary did not join NATO for fear of being dominated by North Korea or the Ethiopian derg.

There was once a brief window of time during which the US and Yeltsin’s Russia could have reached a full detente and disbanded NATO. Unfortunately, that time has long passed. Putin’s Russia has shown that it does not respect international laws (haha, admittedly tough ground for the US to stand on, but still...) via its annexation of Crimea, so the more countries that can band together against this bullying and blatant disregard for national sovereignty, the better.

Kolji, you have my sympathy. I would ask you not to believe that people who live in Nato countries have no empathy. I too think it was wrong what happened in 1999. However, the nightmare of the former Yugoslavia's disintegration and in particular Srebrenica was the stimulus, the example of what happens when people stand aside peacefully and watch what the UN can manage. I don't believe that Serbians should fear NATO, I don't believe that Russians should either. It is, or certainly should be, a defensive organisation
