NATO was indeed formed with a defensive intent but it is accepted that it moved beyond that long ago. NATO was involved with the needless invasion of Kuwait-Iraq in 1990, the needless invasion of Kuwait-Iraq in 1991, the needless bombing of Serbia in 1999, the invasion of Afghanistan in 2003, weapons supply and training for the murderous Iraq invasion in 2004, killings in Somalia in 2009 and the invasion of Libya. NATO is a threat to world peace and many around the world, outside of the US, understandable believe NATO should be dissolved to make the world safer and kinder.
Living in a cosy way inside the US we are not exposed to the effects of our war machine outside of our borders. We don't have any business needing to help Europe defend itself - there is no-one wanting to attack it. The only ones doing all the attacking around the world, including sponsorship of the terrorism in Ukraine from 2014-2022 that Russia is now trying to return to stability, are ourselves.
These are hardly my own views, others are much more critical towards the international murderousness of US power, and the criminality of all of our presidents. As I wrote at the onset, using the standards at Nuremberg Trial all of our presidents would be hung. So the discussion of who raped who is should be dwarfed by our continued international criminal actions.
These views are the census* outside our our media cocoon in the US. It astonishes how people find why I write even controversial on this board. The brainwashing here would be hilarious if it was not also sad, and part of the problem when iterated around our country. This speaks to how well lubricated our propaganda here in the US is. When one cannot even see that we are brainwashed and obedient/ambivalent to power, than that is when we are truly brainwashed.
* The 2014 Gallup poll as conducted about what the greatest threat to world peace is. Pakistan is further down the list in the no. 2 spot at 8%, then China at 6%, then North Korea, Israel. Russia hardly registered in the response. The country on top of the list as the biggest threat to world peace, far above all the others, was USA. As for more recent international polls about NATO, in 2022 across 138 countries the global approval of NATO stood at only 34%. NATO, and the majority of our war installations around the world, needs to be dissolved to make people happier around the world, and the world more stable.
