NATO has become dangerously big and practically unopposed by anyone other than Russia. This is unbalanced and not good for the world peace, in general. Chances of NATO being put in a position to act, when most of its bigger members would rather not, are very high. NATO expansion into the former Eastern block countries made it ripe for military conflict with Russia at some point somewhere. This is not good at all. Some of the countries adjacent to Russia (either former Soviet republics or allies) may want to force NATO to defend their territorial claims that are historic/complicated in nature and should not be resolved in a military way but through difficult negotiations. So, yeah, I kinda agree, NATO is no longer the best vehicle for maintaining military balance of power.
