Fair enough, then don't be surprised when not everybody jumps into the fray. When you send the message that you don't trust the entire rest of the world (maybe except Putin), then the rest of the world won't trust you. Beyond access to foreign bases for fueling, etc., why would a country put their citizens in harm's way - like protect shipping in the Strait - when they either don't know your plan, or do know grains of it and they don't like what they see.
In a somewhat similar vein, it is primarily why other police services didn't rush to Ottawa during the 'Convoy' to bail out OPS. They didn't see a plan worthy of them putting their members at risk. When s plan was formed, things happened.

Yeah. AFAIK there is no mechanism to boot someone out of NATO.
But the fact its being discussed

Well the Americans are thinking about it, not sure if anyone else is.
They’re making noises; that doesn’t necessarily constitute thought. Their policy wonks have redecorate and know what mechanisms do and don’t exist.

Sorry, a clumsy word use for describing “some commenters whom I agreed with” wanting to see those countries punted from NATO until it was pointed out that the treaty does not allow for removal of a country from the alliance without their consent.
If that’s wrong, I’m happy to be corrected.

In that case, I don't think unrealized desires of online commenters are a relevant measure of limitations on US capabilities to successfully realize similar outcomes. I suspect the Pentagon has more influence than online commenters in the matter of NATO memberships.

What point are you trying to make by telling me things I know? Do you think commenter on the internet have as much influence as the Pentagon on US foreign policy? Do you think Trump particularly cares what is in the NATO agreement given the extent to which he flouts other agreements?
The fact that wishful commenters from the internet (previously identified as “we”) did not cause Turkey to be ejected from NATO does not mean Trump, encouraged by his political appointees in the Pentagon, will not attempt to force the issue for his desires.
