> NATO is a collective defense agreement. At it's heart yes. But didn't that bring along the capability to form coalitions? If we dismantled NATO what framework would a wide western coalition, as was deployed in Libya rely on? Can you magically make distinct militaries of different counties coordinate logistics and operations together? My point is that, besides the mutual defense agreement, NATO coordinates training and integration of capabilities across borders, without which I doubt we launch coalitions as we did in Libya or Kosovo. Both of these followed a UN resolution. In Libya there were participation from non-NATO members, yet these coalitions were NATO-led, why? Probably because NATO was the only organization with experience, training and infrastructure to coordinate such a coalition.
