Former US National Security Adviser Suggests Joining Japan, Israel, Australia to NATO

Former US National Security Adviser John Bolton confirmed in an article for the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), one of the most influential newspapers in the United States of America (USA), that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization ( NATO) could become a global organization with the accession of three other countries.

Bolton said: "We need to implement the idea of Jose Maria Aznar (former Prime Minister of Spain) to make " NATO "a global organization by inviting Japan, Australia, and Israel to join the Western alliance."

He added that other countries could join NATO if they met the alliance's defense spending criteria.

He considered that the United States and its allies needed to increase defense budgets significantly while reducing funding for other industries at the same time.
