NATO is a mob under which each countries commit all the atrocities and get away with it. UK can bomb iraq, turkey can bomb syria bcos they are under NATO security umbrella. If a communist bloc is a threat what makes you think NATO is a different from that.NATO's not a country and doesn't annex anyone.
Countries join NATO out of their own free will. No country has ever joined NATO against the wishes of its government.
NATO should have gone away with SU , why does the mob still exist?
