NATO doesn’t really do much other than scare Russia and China. There were a couple of debatable interventions in Europe, and the US did demand everyone join them in Afghanistan, but not Iraq, for example. NATO doesn’t just automatically go where America goes. They have actual rules that have to be cited, like Article 5.

The rest of the world were willing participants in Afghanistan. The US didn’t have to do anything to “force” them.
Iraq and Afghanistan are interlinked stories, but the way they played out with world support was very, very different.

Afghanistan was a NATO Article 5 mission. We didn’t stick around a minute after the NATO mission was over.

And nobody especially objected to it. Not even much from outside of NATO, excepting Afghanistan itself.

They also corrupting politicians to make them buy fighter jets while our grandmas are literally dying of starvation in understaffed hospitals

NATO isn’t corrupting anyone. And I’m Canadian, my grandma’s doing alright.

Then why does von der leyen have her own flat and can’t be search by Belgian police?
