Well, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia , have finally been (officialy) accepted into NATO. "These countries will make NATO stronger" said Bush. Well, finally we'll be able to throw away our rusty russian APCs ; all 5 of them.Now we'll be able to replace those damn MIG-21s that kill more pilots during peace time than in war.This crashing MIG phenomenon was so bad that the villagers have begun setting their watches accrodingly ("the five o'clock MIG, the seven o'clock MIG, the midnight MIG").

What's NATO without the Warsaw Pact? Also, what's NATO with the planned joint European defence force? Maybe the treaty should be reanalysed to focus NATOs efforts on the "war on terror"? At the moment it just seems like a redundant organisation...

I'd say the majority of Americans now think Russia is better than it actually is.

Meh, it'll probably expand and turn into an anti-China organization within the next 20 years or so...

Why bother. China will probably join NATO along with the rest of the world. Then there'd be no wars because everyone would be allied with each other. The US of course would dominate the alliance and institute a new world order, leading to loss of freedoms and an increase in violence, setting the stage for games like StarCraft, Deus Ex... and probably other ones too.

I wouldn't count on it. The western world (particuarly Britain) is long overdue for mad revolutions and upheavals
Leaving the place for the reds in China to fill the gap

No offence but I reckon those countries will drag Nato down budget wise... they arn't exactly wealthy countries or have anything going for them.
