48. Cept The Warsaw Pact Was A Involuntary

Military Organization and NATO was a voluntary one....

The Soviets kept almost the entire Eastern Europe
under their thumb...

We didn't invade France when DeGaulle decided to leave NATO* but the Soviet Union invaded Czechoslavakia and Hungary when they wanted to leave...

*France is not a full member of NATO. They are not part of NATO's planning committe but I believe they are pledged to assist in NATO operations.
