What do you mean Eastern Europe? The only one meddling is Russia, which is why Eastern Europe wants to join NATO. To protect themselves from an aggressive neighbor who started the end of the Cold War with invading a former satellite state. If Russia wasn't so eager to revive its imperial ambitions, there would be no interest in joining NATO.
The answer should be an obvious yes here, reading HN on anything political is an exercise in frustration, fascist apologies and whataboutism+mccartism.
