It is indeed interesting that NATO attacks only bad countries and Russia attacks good ones.

Santander would be disappointed.

NATO never attacked Iraq. What are you talking about? Quite famously most of its members refused to have anything to do with the American-led invasion…

NATO air and naval combat units were funnelled to Iraq-Kuwait during the Persian Gulf War in early 1991.

Correction

Countries attacked by NATO in its entire history: Afghanistan.


The question here is whether NATO is imperialist, not whether its member states could be called imperialist. NATO article 5 have invoked once. As such NATO has only waged war once and that was after unprovoked attack on one of its members.

So based on the military history of NATO, it's not an imperialist organization.  

Simply stunning.

By this metric, Russia isn't doing imperialism in Ukraine right now, since after all it's only a "special military operation." How convenient for the world powers that they only get to call it war when they're not the aggressors.
