Speaker A: I think that this plan is an excellent one. By expanding membership, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) can change its role as we enter the 21st century. Since its original enemy is no longer a threat, we should use NATO to maintain peace in Europe.

Speaker B: I strongly disagree. NATO is a military organization that requires its members to spend money on military equipment and training. The nations at risk would better help themselves by spending money on improving infrastructure and strengthening their economies.

Speaker C: Both of you are missing the point. The whole reason we want to join NATO is for protection against Russian expansionism. This has happened before in our history, with dire consequences for us. We do not want it to happen again.
