In 1949, the prospect of further Communist expansion prompted the United States and 11 other Western nations to form the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The Soviet Union and its affiliated Communist nations in Eastern Europe founded a rival alliance, the Warsaw Pact, in 1955.

So are we switching alliances now that Warsaw Pact is dead, because that's what it is beginning to look like. May be there will be a remake of 'Russians are coming".
