    Yep, people love to reflexively defend NATO, as it’s very effectively pitched as merely a “defensive alliance” when it has always served as a coercive arm for the US to pressure its geopolitical adversaries, especially the Soviets, hence why they worked with the most effective anticommunists, the Nazis. If you don’t play along with NATO, then they pull Operation Gladio on you.

      And russian bots love to attack NATO because it prevents their dictator putin from conquering all previous USSR territories that became sovereign nations.

      NATO wouldn’t be necessary if Russia stopped invading other countries. So you can blame putin for that.
