    NATO for all intents and purposes is just an extension of the US military. If the US left NATO is might still exist on paper but it wouldn’t at all be anything resembling NATO since its inception.

    NATO is not a “defensive pact”. It’s always been an extension of US imperialism and a means to keep European countries as vassals in the capitalists wests goal of stopping the spread of Socialism.
