"What is NATO’s purpose? What is its function? Any minimally-honest answer would acknowledge that NATO exists as an antagonist to Russia." NATO was created after World War II so that Soviet domination of Eastern Europe would not extend to Western Europe. Now it exists so that Russia will not reconquer the former Soviet republics and members of the Warsaw pact. The Soviet Union invaded Hungary and Czechoslovakia during the Cold War to put down resistance. NATO never attacked anyone in Europe. Ukraine shows what happens to countries near Russia that are not part of NATO.
