What aggressive act has NATO done?

AFAIK NATO has never started a conflict. It has reacted to some already in progress, but it has never initiated any military invasion since its inception.

Invading Yugoslavia, Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan come to mind. The fact that you don’t know about these wars of aggression NATO is responsible for is frankly incredible.

Yugoslavia was an ongoing civil war, and was a humanitarian intervention only. NATO positioned themselves between the factions to prevent any further conflicts arising. NATO were criticised for not participating in stopping some of the atrocities at the time.

Libya was in response to a UN resolution regarding the conflict already ongoing within Libya.

Syria had a civil war running for years prior to US intervention. ISIS decided Syria was destabilized so much that it decided to form a self made country there. It was because of ISIS that some NATO countries intervened.

Afghanistan was a US led initiative that included a lot of NATO countries over its period, but was not initiated by NATO. It was in response to a cumulation of events, the penultimate was the 911 attacks in New York. The initial attacks were US, UK, Canada, NZ, Germany, Italy and the Arab NA. So no it was not a NATO attack, and no it was not initiated by any NATO state.

NATO intervention in Yugoslavia was not authorized by the UN and goes against international law.

Libya was in response to a UN resolution regarding the conflict already ongoing within Libya.

Libya was an invasion of a sovereign country.

Syria had a civil war running for years prior to US intervention. ISIS decided Syria was destabilized so much that it decided to form a self made country there. It was because of ISIS that some NATO countries intervened.

That is not a justification for NATO to invade a sovereign country.

Afghanistan was a US led initiative that included a lot of NATO countries over its period, but was not initiated by NATO. It was in response to a cumulation of events, the penultimate was the 911 attacks in New York. The initial attacks were US, UK, Canada, NZ, Germany, Italy and the Arab NA. So no it was not a NATO attack, and no it was not initiated by any NATO state.

Nice word salad that doesn’t change the fact that NATO attacked Afghanistan and abused the people of the country for two decades.

All of these are examples of US invading countries, and massacring over 6 million people in the process. Anybody who claims that NATO is a defensive alliance is a morally bankrupt and deeply dishonest individual.

edit: hilarious to see NATO chuds downvoting basic facts about the situation. NATO is an aggressive alliance that murdered millions of people around the world, and people whitewashing this are utterly deplorable scumbags.

Many countries were involved with Afghanistan and as I said it was in response to an attack on US soil. The rest is just gibberish and ignores the fact that there was an ongoing conflict before any NATO country intervened. No one can deny that mistakes were made in the handling or the initiatives involved, but this is not due to NATO attacking another nation to start a conflict.

Hey, quick question there, why would there be an attack on US soil. was that in response to anything by any chance?

I love how you paint NATO invasions into sovereign countries where NATO murdered millions of people as woopies daisy mistakes as opposed to wars of aggression that they are. You’re exposing yourself as a truly deplorable human being here.

Countries have been killing each other since their inception. Again this is not NATO that is individual countries.

NATO invaded these countries. Get that through your head. These were NATO missions, it’s not just individual countries. You’re either a liar or an ignoramus. Either way I’m done talking to you.

no amount of downvotes will wash the blood of your hands, if you support NATO you’re a genocidal piece of shit, and you gotta live with that

There you go get mad and repeat the same thing again thatll make it more true!

Nah, I’m not mad, but great to see all the scumbags defending NATO exposes themselves for what they truly are

imPastaSyndrome ,

If you weren’t mad you’d be able to have a discussion beyond “nuh uh scumbag”

And Again no one is denying that there were actions taking place. Again only one of those was NATO. None was instigated, every single one was in response to another’s action. You combine a lot of what the US does with the rest of NATO countries.

That is similar to saying every country in the BRICS is party to Russia’s failed invasions of Afghanistan, Armenia, Chechnya or Ukraine. The BRICS are not responsible, Russia is solely responsible for the instigation of the invasive action without any other reason than self interest. It was a feeble attempt to extend their borders.

AFAIK not a single member has tried to extend their own border since its creation. Even the US with its aggressive actions in the last 50 years has not held onto any country it has held operations in. The hand over back to the nations concerned may not have been done very well. A statement both Russia and China cannot repeat with any honesty.
