This is entirely possible, and there is historical precedence for it. Most folks don't recall that there was another such treaty organization in modern history called SEATO (South East Asia Treaty Organization). It was formed in 1954 to control the spread of communism in the Pacific and Southeast Asia. And like NATO, it was largely funded by the US.
It never quite caught on, as there was a lot of in-fighting and it finally ceased operations in 1977, mostly due to lack of interest. The Vietnam war may have had something to do with its collapse too.

So Ukraine is NATO's Vietnam?
Al almost makes the bullshit worth it.
History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme.
