Original Note:
NATO does not expand by force. Instead future members are invited and voluntarily join the alliance, if they choose this is what they want. After UDSSR collapse many Eastern European states asked to join. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enlargement_of_NATO#Criteria_and_process https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/topics_49212.htm They can also leave whenever they want (this never happened). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Withdrawal_from_NATO
