Rumsfeld states than any American military adventurism will occur as planned despite dissent within NATO.
Paris Pact forms with Germany, France, and Russia as it's initial members.
NATO bad blood rocks the alliance, members are deeply divided - so divided it seems that they cannot even agree to plan to assist one of their own allies who may be under threat.
But that of course is precisely what Nato's principal role is supposed to be.
Will we see the de facto end of NATO sometime soon?
