NATO is a defense pact. And your portrayal of NATO is ridiculous. NATO bent over backwards to satisfy Russian paranoia. NATO had barely any troops(just enough to say if you invade and kill them it's war) in the eastern NATO member countries until the full scale invasion of Ukraine.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoNATO has never once been used in a defensive war, and is constantly used in wars of aggression, primarily by the US. It would be too exhausting to even type and link the various countries the US currently bombing and fighting in during 2024. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_United_States_military_operations#Extraterritorial_and_major_domestic_deployments https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_United_States_mili... https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/countries-the-us-has-bombed https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/countries...
