If a Serbian nationalist hadn't shot the damn archduke of Austria then Hideki Tojo wouldn't've sank the majority of the US pacific fleet decades later.
Are you sure you want to credit us with all that? First the invisible bombers...

NATO doesn't really do much other than scare Russia and China. There were a couple of debatable interventions in Europe, and the US did demand everyone join them in Afghanistan, but not Iraq, for example. NATO doesn't just automatically go where America goes. They have actual rules that have to be cited, like Article 5.
The rest of the world were willing participants in Afghanistan. The US didn't have to do anything to "force" them.
Iraq and Afghanistan are interlinked stories, but the way they played out with world support was very, very different.

Are you aware of the actual reason that NATO bombed Yugoslavia?
Oh, .ml, that explains it.

No, they are an alliance for defense. Nothing peaceful about it, they will fuck you up with military force if you mess with any one of their member states.

But that's not true. Why do you guys repeat such propaganda without question? Countless nations have messed with the US's economic interests throughout history, how many times has NATO gotten involved?

Afghanistan was a NATO Article 5 mission. We didn't stick around a minute after the NATO mission was over.

The point is that "NATO" is an umbrella term for "US's interests" or "US military".
The US can and absolutely does wreck shit up for the sake of their own interests, regardless of international law. "NATO" only comes into play when either other countries are willing to step in or the US might need a veneer of legitimacy. -

And nobody especially objected to it. Not even much from outside of NATO, excepting Afghanistan itself.

Well if we're just misusing words and making things up, shit, why not say "DPRK" is an umbrella term for "US's interests"?
I think you might need to engage in some self-reflection and consider whether you may have been influenced by Russian/Chinese propaganda. There is no rational reason to have a problem with the existence of NATO.

Moreover, as the meme indicates, their citizenry continues to feel as though the intervention was unwarranted. at least in large part. No state-level population is a monolith.

Okay, can you think of a reason Russia "only" attacked* Georgia and Ukraine in the recent past and not say Estonia, Latvia or Lithuania?
As a small nation you have two options:
- Build alliances and search senior partners
- Die
* attacked as in boots on the ground. They engaging in cyber attacks and other forms of physical and online sabotage in many European countries
NATO is the only reason Russia is its own country in the first place

And to be clear, the larger part of non-tankie Lemmy is just fine acknowledging recent, heinous western atrocities, though doesn’t give NATO quite as much thought I suppose (in lieu of the raging dumpster fires in our own backyards).
The larger part of users maybe.
Worldists admins are genocide supporters.
