    How is Nato a defencive alliance? All of it’s operations were offensive. That is not even a joke. Yugoslavia and Afganistan… Mato is just a formalization of Eueopean reliance on their US overlord. It beings protection in a same way mafia does - with a hefty price, albeit moral and political, not only financial.

      All offensive operations were offensive, sure but the reason there were no defensive actions was that no one is stupid enough to mess with nato.

      The biggest benefit of nato though is countering nuclear proliferation and making it so that less countries develop and possess word ending doomsday devices. This means the chances of us nuking ourselves back to the stone age are somewhat smaller… So that’s something I guess
