I heard that some time in the early 50s, I think just after Stalin's death, the USSR applied to join NATO. I think that there objective was to show that it was a conventional military alliance (directed against the Russians) rather than a true collective security arrangment.
If I recall correctly NATO said no.
Is there anything other than ASBs or a World run by the (Groucho) Marxists under which such an application would be accepted?
