Just change it so it doesn't need to be unanimous.

No. It’s a defensive alliance . No country should be forced to defend another they didn’t explicitly agree to defend. That being said, Turkey is being dicks about this whole thing.

You would think it would be sorta like the security council because NATO if you add USA France Germany and the UK you have most of the NATO forces right ?

Right. Seems like that should never be the case where one person (country) can build the rest hostage.

The issue is, every country basically has to agree that they would come to the defence of everyone else. If it was just something like a majority vote, you'd have instances of countries being forced to defend countries that they didn't agree to defending, which could result in the alliance falling apart in the outbreak of conflict.
