I'm asking the question again:
What good exactly did NATO do in Afghanistan during 20 years? Bring democracy?
Was it the plan all all along to leave a bunch of weapons and the control of the country to the Taliban? You're aware that girls don't have the right to go to school anymore, and often get forced into marriage at 12? Is that what NATO is for?
Are you people just defending NATO because Trump said bad things about it?
I'm genuinely curious, since when "leftys" started to cheers for NATO? I'm guessing this is mostly a US thing since being left in this country is basically being center-right in the rest of world.
And just to clarify before being call a tankie, I think Putin is an evil manipulative piece of shit and I can't wait for him to die (I hope he suffers a lot) so I can take a piss on his grave.
No war since 80 years?!? Did I miss something or do you just choose to exclude Irak, Afghanistan, Syria, Bosnia? I guess that wars that do not directly affect the comfort of Westerners are not 'real' wars.
NATO and the USA basically destroyed Afghanistan and left all of the women of in the hands of barbarians, but fuck them I guess. 20 years of interventions and the situation is worse for everyone except Talibans, thanks NATO!
It's a military and imperialist organization lol. I'll give you a detailled reply but will also return the question: what good had NATO done exaclty?
From my Canadian perspective, NATO pressures Canada to increase military spending to 2% of GDP. Meanwhile we are in the middle of the biggest housing crisis of the past 50 years, but our (most probably) next prime minister will inject billions in the army.
NATO has supported Israel intervention on multiple occasion. Although they have timidly requested a ceasefire, they continue the official discourse on “the right to defend oneself”.
NATO has embarked on numerous interventions over the past 30 years, notably the "war against terrorism” and wars in Iraq, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria... All with great results /s
French are using Twitter a lot. Even people that are considered pretty far to the left. I've tried to discuss this with a few french connections I have and it's always "but that's where the people are"....
Didn't he tried to fake his death once?
