DISINFO: NATO became US armed wing ensuring the control of energy resources
SUMMARY
NATO has become a sort of armed wing for US interests, specifically to ensure the control of areas with energy resources.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative against NATO.
NATO is an international military alliance based in the principle of mutual defence, not a tool for US interests. Contrary to the claim, NATO missions have rarely taken place in resource-rich areas and the Atlantic Alliance has never been involved in resource exploitation, energetic or any other kind.
See other examples in our database, such as claims that NATO will be reformed as part of the Western effort to rule the world, that NATO is a tool of global capital based in the ideology of white supremacism, that it is creating a hotbed of instability in Europe, or that the EU is NATO’s while label.
