    "I legitimately feel like NATO in its existence really doesn't do anything to materially suppress the cause for socialists worldwide today and I feel like the insistence on hyper-fixating on NATO from the perspective of a leftist has been a PSYOP in favor of the Russian government...NATO itself doesn't facilitate anything other than protecting countries in eastern europe from aggression from Russia...I don't think that NATO does that much at all really except for preventing Russia imperialism."

    That's essentially the crux of the argument, or at least the most relevant bits that I had the patience to gather because there's no way I'm watching all 12 minutes of that shit.

          Yes because the coordination and frameworks that NATO creates dont have wider implications for geopolitics in general... fuckin brainlet.

            You see organisations are just the sum of their members, except when they arent, which is why they are better than the sum of their members. Yes.

          Literally the first sentence of the (CIA)wikipedia article on it:

          On 19 March 2011, a multi-state NATO-led coalition began a military intervention in Libya, to implement United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973, in response to events during the First Libyan Civil War.

          Oh so its just liberal mysticism of magically divorcing the alliance of countries from the countries themselves, that its somehow more virtuous than the sum of its parts?
