Reviewing my comments I said, "If the original NATO made sense then an expanded NATO makes sense". The example I gave as being a new NATO member was Estonia.

So I ask you, do you think defending the original NATO countries make sense?

If so then why wouldn't Estonia make sense?

I believe there's a solution here to this conundrum.

Notify NATO that any nation that does not spend 3% of GDP on Defense and meet certain readiness and capability requirements to be defined by our US Military professionals...will be expelled from the Alliance. They have 5 years.

If we cannot gain agreement with the majority of NATO countries on this, we will withdraw from the treaty in that same 5year timetable.
