People who deny this often collapse anything the us does with other NATO partners into actual NATO actions.

people genuinely stupid enough to believe nato is defensive in nature have never opened a history book outside of their compulsory schooling

I believe comments like this are the reason why people want to defederate hexbear.

Self-opinionated, aggressive and insulting, all in a few lines of comment. I can’t deny there’s an art in there, but not one that makes one like the artist.
