Yes. Someone else wrote about how hard it is for a new nation to get into NATO - you can't just waltz in and settle down; there are a lot of hoops to jump through. All the eastern European countries WANTED to be in NATO - they had been the recipients of Soviet/Russian occupation and they wanted no more of it..... Kennan is wrong there, unless we were willing to grant full military backing to those countries even if they were not in NATO.....
