NATO is just one manifestation of military industrial complex. Just getting rid of it without any global change it would be net negative for the humanity.
The primary issue with NATO is that it’s often misused by US for its own personal needs.
The primary purpose of NATO is to maintain western hegemony over the global south to better extract resources and profit from it. It being gone is a net good
Yes, the primary issue I mention is the purpose you are talking about. Thank you for repeating what I said. It being disbanded wouldn’t automatically be net positive, since despite the issues it creates, it does serve other valid purposes. You need to address systemic issues, not manifestations of those issues to solve anything. Because if not NATO, it would be another 4 letter organization doing exactly the same thing by exactly the same people.
Name one
How is any of that positive for humanity?
Because any war leads to human losses, so prevention of war is a good thing, not bad.
NATO does not prevent war. The term “defensive pact” is bullshit. NATO has always been a geopoltical aggressor. Its an appendage if US empire
Don’t you hate it when your war prevention alliance has been at war for thirty years straight
You are arguing against something I haven’t said. Yes, US missuses NATO for their own purposes, I stated that in the first comment in this thread…
But that won’t change just because NATO gets disbanded without changing the systemic issues that created NATO in the first place. Because it will just be re-born under a different name with the same stated goals and the same US in the driver seat. So instead of that lets address the root causes so that NATO becomes obsolete and makes it useless vehicle hence preventing US from using it as a vehicle for their aggression and imperialism.
You are not describing other purposes, you are describing means by which NATO pursues it’s one purpose. Also, what is your understanding of the word “imperialism”?
Yet another lib who thinks imperialism means expanding territory/any invasion
Obviously things are imperialism when Russians do them. Imps are closely related creatures to orcs and goblins.
Should be self-explanatory.
It’s not. What is your understanding of the word “imperialism”?
