um, excuse me, Japan and Australia are part of "The West", actually.

yes but the terms of NATO specify countries hold territory north of the Equator, this is likely the only reason Australia and New Zealand are not members.

I'm sure the US will be happy to sweep that criteria under the rug, and the rest of NATO (maybe minus Hungary/Turkey, but they'll fold) will wag their tails for their master.

Hopefully this will be just another step towards the dissolution and collapse of NATO though, IMO it certainly won't help.
