Jesus fucking Christ this post alone should be considered an act of violence for it’s sheer depravity and mockery of millions of deaths. The US did it’s thing in Iraq for 15 years, utterly failed, made lots of people rich and then they left. How dare you claim that was success for the anti-war movement. What is wrong with you? What the fuck does is “Anti-NATO religious extremism?” This is suspiciously nonsensical. Is a chat bot writing your responses for you?

NATO is still currently in Iraq, the US 2,500 troops are only a part of the effort to hamper ISIS.

NATO went to Afghanistan. France (part of NATO) was so against Iraq that they wouldn’t let the US use its bases for refueling. American politicians officially renamed French Fries to Freedom fries because they were mad at France and other members of NATO did not support Iraq and sent no troops.

Technically NATO has never been mobilized anywhere, but when multiple NATO members go somewhere we call it a NATO operation.

NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in its history after the 9/11 terrorist attacks against the United States.
