        This can just be a provocative question to present NATO negatively.

        I agree. However, these days NATO does not need anyone but themselves to put it into negatively daylight.

        With US in NATO and allowing Israel to do what they do meanwhile other NATO countries are just watching from sidelines. I know this is a very simplified version but yeah.

        That said… I’m not fond of any countries government.

        NATO is bad, though. It’s the “defensive” alliance for the world’s imperialist powers, similar to how “Israel” “defends itself” with the IDF. It’s used to prevent the people of the global south from directly retaliating against imperialism.

      Yes, specifically NATO operations, not necessarily ones that NATO members took part in.

      A civilian means a non-combatant.
