              Sounds like you have been living under a rock. Italy had already been a member of NATO by 1970, which already makes them complicit in things like the Lebensraum genocide in Palestine.

              You claim that you are from Europe, but you are evidently very ignorant of its history.

                  NATO is a defensive alliance

                  This is hilarious.
                  It has, apparently, been very ‘defensively’ committing the genocide in Palestine, and it so very ‘defensively’ invaded Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Vietnam, Korea, etc. /s

                  Only people with no knowledge of history and no knowledge of what has been happening this century think that it’s a defensive alliance.

                  Also, what was/is it a defensive alliance of and from? Are you going to argue that it hasn’t been an alliance defending colonial metropoles and settler-colonies from justice?

                  Read the basics at least

                  You should follow your own advice and learn about what it has been doing.

                    NATO always had a UN mandate to intervene, except for the war in Yugoslavia since Russia vetoed it. NATO conducts peacekeeping missions, often positioning in between two factions.

                    If you want to argue that NATO ignores 9 out of 10 conflicts and intervenes only where it’s convenient for the West, that’s a fair point, but accusations of genocide are simply ridiculous.

                    Just to name an example of your BS, Israel attacked the UNIFIL forces because they held their defensive position in Lebanon.

          I recommend providing sources next time youre making the comperison between nazi terror cells doing pogroms and some revolutionary groups doing targeted assasinations of fascist politicians. Provide a source that the assassination of Aldo moro was financed or otherwise materially supported by the ussr or shut up. Because I found nothing of the sort.

          Either way still not remotely comparable to what the wannabe-dirlewangers did and still do:
