minus-squareAljernon@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up1·16 hours agoNATO successfully deterred the Soviet Union from invading Western and Central Europe for the entire cold war. That’s a VERY successful defensive pact.
minus-squarePrunebutt@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·16 hours agoI’m not claiming that they’re not effective at defending. I’m arguing that they’re still a tool of imperialism.

minus-squarePrunebutt@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down10·2 days agoNope, that’s interventionism, not defense. Also, whether or not ethnic cleansing actually happened is highly debatable. The death toll exploded after NATO started bombing.
