No you obnoxious loser

Well, you know what they say about people who resort to personal
abuse during an argument...

I mean unable to act. Expanding to 19 nations spread
from the west side of the Atlantic to the Baltics means its going to be
*impossible* to get every nation to agree to any action.

If unanimity isn't possible, that doesn't prevent individual NATO
members form acting, either individually or together -- there are
plenty of examples of this. So you are wrong, they are not unable to
act.

I would point out that the USA is hardly likely to want to change
NATO from unanimity to majority voting, since all except 2 or 3
(depending how you count) members of NATO are European.
