DISINFO: NATO is a tool of US imperialism

SUMMARY

The US created NATO to subjugate states of Europe to its imperialism. European politicians should understand and stop representing the interests of NATO and begin to represent the interests of Europeans.

RESPONSE

Recurring disinformation narrative about the states of Europe/NATO as puppets of the US.

NATO does not force any state to become a member but considers the applications of candidate countries that want to join.

NATO is a defensive alliance, which includes today 30 member states. It is stressed that the most important players in the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation are the member states themselves. As a political alliance, NATO promotes democratic values. Regarding the military agenda, the organisation is committed to the peaceful resolution of disputes. See more information about NATO's purposes here as well as a short history of NATO.
