One could maybe motivate them. By establishing a barrage of constant diplomatic affronts and frustrations, like they do with the EU over Cyprus. Forgetting invitations to conferences, meeting staff from second and third lineup only, getting tough over Cyprus, establishing military procedures and routines that they cannot meet, deleting privileged and cost-reduced arms sales and weapon gifts given for free but billing the full market price, and so on. Making them feel unwelcomed.

Too much export competition within each NATO country to even contemplate that...times are hard you know
