Any thing to back that up because that sounds like bullshit spread by the fascist US government who want NATO gone on behalf of Russia

I hope that you will actually look at the sources that people gave you. It’s understandable that you are sceptical but it’s very important to learn the actual origin of NATO because it’s the first step of understanding that NATO has been a tool for imperialism and the suppression of leftists revolutions around the world since its inception

I appreciate your honest curiosity/inquiry. The world is more complex than what it seems (and certainly more complex than "Russia bad, NATO good"), and I doubt anyone can competently hold all this info in their head, so stay safe out there and remain curious.

Many former Nazi officials were high ranking members of NATO, including Adolf Heusinger. This makes sense, considering NATO is a military coalition of imperialist countries meant to deter revolution against imperialism and neocolonialism, like SEATO, ANZUS, and CENTO.

If Trump destroyed NATO, this would genuinely be an accidental anti-imperialist move.

This article is a good starting point: https://www.counterpunch.org/2020/10/16/the-u-s-did-not-defeat-fascism-in-wwii-it-discretely-internationalized-it/

God damn. I had a vague understanding of all that, but to have it all documented makes me a bit ill. America has a serious issue of lack of comeuppance.

We can have the solace that the US empire cannot last forever, and with all the atrocities it has and continues to commit, in the long term its digging its own grave. The people of the world refuse to be kept in chains, they have risen up and will continue to do so. Class struggle will rear its head until class society is abolished, and the contradictions inherent to it are resolved.
