        NATO is comprised of the US and the US’ glorified provinces.

        If you want to distance the less major colonial robbers and genocidaires from things like these, you have to demonstrate that they do not assist the US, including that they do not promise to help fight whoever attacks the US in response to such actions.

          No. The way this works is you made a false statement. So you are wrong. It doesn’t mean I have to prove anything.

            No

            Yes.

            The way this works is you made a false statement

            Conveniently, you can’t point to any false statements that I made. All you have is excuses and apologia for your invasions and genocides. Actually, not even that, in this case.

            So you are wrong

            You are yet to point to anything that I am supposedly wrong about.
            Meanwhile, you have literally claimed that Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, and other countries are all just one country. You have also failed to point to any countries that Russia supposedly ‘also invaded’.

                That vague argument could be made, but you are the one now making a claim, and I’d like to see you provide something that shows that, materially speaking, they don’t do whatever the US wants like, 90% of the time.

                Like obvs there are other countries involved, but ultimately, do they do much without the consent or direction of the US? Like direct, concrete action, and not just fluff?

                NATO is dominated by the US. NATO is the alliance of imperialist countries, and the US is the top imperialist country. The US controls the vast majority of NATO, and the secondary members participate insofar as they wish to perpetuate their imperialist dominance as secondary empires.
