  1. Russia is still a threat, why didn't it adopt democracy and legal reforms and join European union? Too be the Empire of the North East Eurasia instead of a normal nation.

  2. Is NATO american, same of republican, democrat, green party, metoo, black lives matter, … or just of several monsters oligarchs who use it for their purposes?

  3. The fact is that NATO is an imperialist organization composed primarily from an imperialist countries ,who were occupying most of Africa, Asia,latin America.this demonic organization,never designed for good,rather designed on devil's rules.

  4. Very fine video. How the heck do govts commit to democracy when MOST of them don't have real democracy in truly practical terms? It's a sick joke; laughable, …, but very sick. How does such a govt promote democracy when not practicing it? It's very sad that NATO, which should've ceased or been disbanded decades ago has expanded to 29 countries. What the heck is wrong with these additional govts, for the original NATO, again, should've been ended long, enough, ago; I'd even just say long ago?|

  5. You obviously do not have Your skin in the game – for people who live close really close to Russian border, NATO looks much different.

  6. The Roots of NATO in Five Sentences.

    It was founded as a means to contain socialism. To limit socialism to only the USSR.
    At the time, the US formed NATO in the later part of the 20th century on the basis of the League of Nations formed in the early part of the century after WWI.
    The League of Nations founded as a means to contain socialism is the precursor to NATO. 
    NATO's history begins in embryo form with the crushing of the Paris Commune of 1871 and any working class revolt thereafter.

    That's it.

    Postscript: The military could be used to crush a real working class revolution in the US but if for some reason the military could not be used then the dominant political class would use NATO forces to crush the US military and the working class revolution in war it sees it can come out on top as absolute ruler against both. This would be an interesting configuration of alliances where the two combatants are two social classes and two militaries engage in battle on American soil. A war on American soil shall not occur is the No. 1 Commandment of the Joint Chiefs of Staff can easily be violated by a powerful economic social class and its Capital the world depends on for its existence including the US military. Get a guy like Trump and he'll call out their incompetency. All the world is a slave to capital is what guy like him understands best. Those who own capital rule the world. NATO forces being commandeered by the capitalist class of rulers and the US military mutinied because the incompetency of the Generals failed to protect the mainland is not an unlikely scenario in times when societies come and go. Big mistakes are made by the ruling powers to protect that which is sacred to them, the working day, in a vain effort to repress the working class from ever making its own mistakes a worker can never be anything more than a worker, they fight to subordinate labor as instrument of capital, the military fights to preserve honor, freedom and mainland, the working class fights for its dignity and self-emancipation, — the other social classes do weird things uprooted in the social turmoil. In the interlude of various battles the forces merge into one against a foreign element of national origins in what becomes a war of a working class emancipation because no other social class is functional enough to resolve the crisis. Workers win by default and necessity to end its own role in the social conflict of the capitalist paradigm.

  7. Nato is buying most of their hardware from the American industrial military complex..!!…Who is benefiting from all of this.??..Certainly not the European Nato countries…but the American governments always find some new "enemies ".to wage war against them and of course the Nato members are obliged to participate in any insane war wich the criminal globalists in the USA government are pushing them into…!!!..Well …more wars the better for the criminals running the politics of the world…!!!!!

  8. I generally favor TRNN points of view but I think (I'm no expert for sure) that Mr. Engler is not correct about why it was set up. I think it was directly to counter the Soviet Union and possibly China. I disagree with him when he said that the Soviet Union was not a threat to Western Europe after WWII. It was a huge threat. When the war ended they had almost 3X the amount of battle ready troops in Europe and it was considered a huge threat and concessions were made to them because of this.

  9. NATO is the army of the Global Ruling Elite, the U.S. is just their latest tool they are using to accomplish their conquest of the world. England was their tool, but now, the role has been passed to the U.S. It seems crazy to me that so few people have been allowed to do so much damage. You would think that would be a country's main duty is to stop the jackass who are destroying the planet's biosphere. Seems reasonable to me.

  10. I think the US capitalism is dependent on arms sales because they've devastated our economy by overtaxing the 99%. We can't buy anything but necessity items. So they have to sell arms to the other countries to protect the rich from the poor.

  11. This is why i laugh so hard and my coffee spill on the floor when i heard some cuckservitive Maga guy talking to his friends way back, on why doesn't U.S ally with russia and get rid of all it's worthless allies. Lmao on man ignorance is so beautifully bliss and it's so entertaining to wacth. As i laugh i was looking straight at them. I'm guessing they problaly thought they had said some clever P.C thing lmao.

  12. I’ve seen a lot of military adds lately most need more cannon fodder 🇺🇸🛢💣💰=⚰️

  13. I cant understand why oil rich socialist nations and the middle east hate us so much????????
    Even I hate NATO and the way the west behaves. It's like a huge mafia rolling over poor brown countries and raping their woman and their resources.

  14. I thought it was just America that seemed to be against socialism and people having the wealth and power. But it makes sense that it is NATO which is the reason France and the UK also help with the atrocities against humanity around the world.

  15. Scandinavian countries were allowed to be socialist, because they are part of the Aryan master race. Socialism is not allowed in Southern European countries, Africa, and South America, through military force or international banking. Nato is a force for maintaining economic apartheid, like Germany's banking abuse against Greece. Israel and Palestine is a microcosm globally.

  16. NATO is a Terrorist Organization. NATO’s “Operation Gladio” committed terrorist attacks and blame on Communists and Socialists

  17. might and victory to the Resistances ally and its allies (The Islamic
    Republic of Iran, Hezbollah, the popular crowd, Syria, Russia, China, North
    Korea, the honorable and non-partisan Palestinian resistance, The Yemen
    resistance, the Bolivian resistance and Venezuela) and its allies, and the
    humiliation and disgrace of the axis of evil Governments (USA, Israel, Britain,
    France, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar, UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, The United
    Nations, the Security Council, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Arab
    League
