There was a post from a mass media site the other day saying Turkey was approving Sweden to join NATO. This turned out to be a bit of wishful thinking.

NATO has not prevented a single war, it has only started them.

What wars did NATO start then? Don't confuse countries in NATO with NATO itself.

NATO = USA and its servants.

Honestly. How stupid do you have to be to write this? Its impossible to give credit to NATO for wars that never happened, because.. they never happened. And you somehow think that’s proof NATO doesn’t work?

Why don’t you try looking for the reduction in war and death instead? We had two world wars in a 20 year span. How many have we had in the nearly 80 years since? Totally proof NATO is a sham..

The fact that Russia has not started invading Ukraine earlier is proof that they have prevented multiple wars already.
