NATO even doesn't let itself be dictated to by a parliament of one of its members. The Dutch government has never acknowledged that US nuclear weapons are stored in the Netherlands but when a former prime minister said that as a conscripted lieutenant he had help guard these bombs denial was impossible. Several years ago a large majority of the main chamber of the Dutch parliament voted for a resolution to have them removed but the government said that couldn't be done. As a member of NATO the Netherlands isn't sovereign.NATO is a military alliance, and it can't have Russia (or any other state) dictating to one of its members, without addressing it as an alliance. If Norway is willing to kowtow to Russian demands on missile defense deployment, then NATO should either overrule it or demand Norway choose to leave or stay in NATO.
