wouldn't worry about it ...."North Atlantic" ....we don't qualify and would be crazy for us, (but really doubt we would be asked) ....not our region ...we have ANZUS and QUAD and are also trying to build ties with S E Asian countries like Singapore and Indonesia *....this is where are future lies
there is a tendency to oversimplify and polarise ....the real world a little more complex
* military drills with these countries have occurred - not to say their interests always the same as ours but a degree of co-operation and trust to be engendered
