      Probably bots. If you are part of an alliance, you are probably aligned, but that is not the way English speaking humans would talk.

        There are a cases like S. Korea and Japan that aren’t NATO members but are allies of US, so in these cases it could be considered. This article, however, is sloppy writing.

          They are allies of the US but that doesn’t mean they will follow the US’s lead into war.
