DISINFO: In the past 30 years, all wars have started because of NATO or the US

SUMMARY

In the past 30 years, all wars have started because of NATO or the US directly.

RESPONSE

No evidence given. Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative, undermining NATO.

NATO is a defensive alliance, whose purpose is to protect its member states, not start wars.

See similar disinformation cases alleging that NATO is a monstrous Cold war relic, cultivating Cold War thinking and considering Russia as an enemy, that NATO is fully subordinated to the USA and that Baltic states, Moldova and Poland are NATO “hostages”.
