It’s literally only function is a deterrent to war, including by members against others as they will not gain NATO support unless they are attacked.

It’s expansionist against the wishes of outside countries, and NATO exerts military pressure on the Global South.

Its members might exploit, but thats a meaningless statement about NATO itself because without NATO there would literally be more war.

Bzzzzt wrong. NATO’s only function is to preserve Western Hegemony and dominate the Global South militarily, so that member-States can continue exploiting ruthlessly unopposed. This results in proxy wars, such as the Israeli genocide of Palestinians.

this isn’t super accurate, joining nato has some pretty strict requirements, and besides yeeting NATO would be like the west completely nuking china and russia because “they did a human rights violation” it’s just a dogwhistle lmao.

Its not expansionist because you have to request to join.

The only objecting countries whose wishes you’re referring to are nations who want to invade potential NATO members.

Bzzzzt wrong. NATO is expansionist because it pressures non-member states and routinely starts proxy wars.

The only countries whose wishes you’re referring to are nations who want to invade potential NATO members.

Bzzzzzt wrong. Western Hegemony damages the Global South and NATO keeps member-states unaccountable.
