Is NATO too big?

Montenegro was added to the NATO roster recently,bringing the number of members to a staggering twenty-nine.

NATO decisions are unanimous.  How are you supposed to get twenty-nine opinions to line up?

NATO was established to protect Western Europe from a Soviet invasion.  That threat vanished in 1991, yet the alliance has grown.  Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary joined in 1999 over Russian objections that it violated a promise not to expand the alliance beyond a newly reunited Germany.  In 2004,Slovakia, Bulgaria and Romania were added along with a penetration of the former Soviet frontier with the inclusion of the Baltic States.  Croatia and Albania joined in 2009 along with the return of France.  Do any of these new additions add to the alliance's strength?

An attempt to bring Georgia in in 2008 led to a Russian attack on that country than nearly split it in half.  Two clumsy "revolutions" in Ukraine in 2004 and 2014 led to the "little green man" takeover of Crimea.

NATO's enemy is radical Islam, not Russia.  There has not been a serious Russian action threatening Europe, but many Islamic terrorist attacks.  NATO has gotten larger and is facing the wrong way toward a threat that is not there.

Typical government in action

Looks like their's is as stupid as ours.
