A NATO without America could be benign tho.
It wouldn’t make sense and nothing militaristic can be considered benign.
Comment on Instead of everyone leaving NATO, could everyone else just kick the US out?
Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 1 week agoNATO is bad tho, because it allows the US to draw other countries into our imperialist wars and allows its members to threaten non-members with reletive impunity.
To quote Blinken “If you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu”. A NATO without America could be benign tho.

I wouldn’t say it’s that bad. NATO is only defensive, so other members have no obligation to join US wars. I admit, NATO conditions can be used to pressure members, but since everyone is hating attack on Iran or Venezuela, the influence isn’t that big. And sometimes the members fight even against each other in proxy wars, for example US vs Turkey in Syria.
