It has always been a force for colonialism. NATO has killed millions in its invasions, including the recent ones into Iran, Syria, Libya, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

If you want to argue that NATO ignores 9 out of 10 conflicts and intervenes only where it’s convenient for the West, that’s a fair point

No. Reread what I have said. My issue is not that NATO does not 'intervene' where it should. My issue is that NATO is fundamentally a colonial empire. It is a perpetrator of at least one genocide that is currently ongoing, and it is the most prolific invader in the world.

but accusations of genocide are simply ridiculous

Literally Palestine.

Just to name an example of your BS, Israel attacked the UNIFIL forces because they held their defensive position in Lebanon

In what way does that contradict any of what I have said? Pissrael is de facto a part of NATO (arguing that Pissrael could have ever been as successful in its Lebensraum project without NATO is ridiculous), so that's literally an example of yet another invasion by NATO.

NATO is not even present in Palestine

Both Pissraeli and USian troops have been on the ground there recently.
NATO has also done stuff like the bombing of Yemen and Iran recently, as well as the completion of the invasion of Syria just within the last 12 months.

Israel collaborates with NATO

Pissrael is de facto a part of NATO.

Are NATO members also responsible for the violations of human rights in Egypt? What about those in Tunisia?

Yes. Yes.

You are clearly full of ideology and less of facts.

You are literally claiming that the invasions of Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, and Afghanistan by NATO did not happen.

Going to note that you are yet to dispute any of what I have been saying with facts. You have only been throwing baseless accusations at me.

I claim you don’t know the difference between individual countries and NATO

I do. Not sure how the fact that those are individual countries/states contradicts the facts that they engage in collaborative colonialist efforts and that they are also subservient to the US - the de facto head of NATO.

and you are so full of yourself that you can’t even search where NATO actually operated and where didn’t.

I have literally pointed out a bunch of places where NATO has operated.

I stop here

You should, in fact, stop supporting and denying colonialism.

I stop here, feel free to continue telling yourself you’re right.

“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

― Jean-Paul Sartre
