Nothing wrong with that. Many geopolitical locations definitely need defenses

NATO has it's issues with US & Turkey for starters but still it's the only viable option for some places

Nah, the issue with NATO is that it keeps invading countries and destroying them.

[–] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In many cases yes. Currently it's also a needed defense for it's members from other invaders and destroyers. Ideally NATO wouldn't be needed. Dismantling it would be great, simultaneously or after the other rogue powers.

NATO is needed to deal with problems that NATO created. It's a self perpetuating horror show.

Yeah Yugoslavia...

On the other hand, today, Europeans have no other options to try to stay safe which sucks

No, it's not just Yugoslavia. NATO has been involved in plenty of wars of aggression aside from Yugoslavia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wars_involving_NATO

edit: absolutely love how rediquette is getting normalized here now, post a factual comment with a source and a bunch of chuds run in to downvote because they have trouble engaging with reality
