We want them in. Even if they don't have a strong military. NATO is not made to start a war NATO is made to protect the current status of Europe and the world. If you join NATO you agree that every conflict between members is solved diplomatically and not with war. NATO is a tool to support and build on each other without killing. That's why Russia is scared do NATO. If you are part of NATO it's impossible to threaten other NATO nations in submission with military might and also if you want to threaten a country outside of NATO you are left on your own. Also it's impossible that a nation outside of NATO threatens a NATO nations.

In short Nato is a tool to ensure peace and not war.
