@Garlic munched had to laugh at your styling of NATO as a defensive alliance but in the same breath acknowledging NATO forces are illegally occupying land in Iraq and Kosovo.
i guess you could also say NATO, in the form of the US, also invaded and currently occupies major parts of Syria, in breach of laws passed by their parliament..
and then we saw NATO defensive forces at work in Afghanistan until booted out, and NATO 'leadership' sniffing around recently in East Asia on behalf of the Washington War Party. They weren't behaving to have the opportunity to wish China's leader Xi happy birthday.
and why is NATO prepared to fight in their proxy war to the last Ukranian after their leaders pledged around 1990 to not move one inch east.
the Wahington War Party is getting great value from every dead Ukrainian as Bojo the Clown told US university students just last week.
