Why do we not demand countries outside of NATO follow the pledge that countries in NATO made and the answer "Because they are not in NATO" begs the question. Not sure you truly understand what begs the question is; but I assume others in the forum do.
The question is "Why do we treat NATO countries differently". There is no logic to the answer "Because we treat NATO countries differently". That is circular logic. It is a classic example of "begging the question".
You can't answer a question by just repeating the question in the form of a conclusion.
