    Nato has attacked a lot of country in the past. And even though they are not technically bombing Iran nato countries do provide logistics support

      Countries do what they will, Spain and others dipped early because it’s not a NATO operation and they don’t want to be a part of it. The point being, NATO is purely defensive.

        This is plain stupid. If you watch the flow of US weapons you’ll see that almost all NATO countries help the us. And no, Nato is not a defensive alliance. They have been involved In all the conflicts in the middle east and also in Lybia and in Serbia. I can’t believe I am having this discussion here

          You realize NATO members aren’t beholden to NATO right? NATO wasn’t involved in Korea or Vietnam, because it had nothing to do with them. Same goes for Iran right now. The only reason they were in Afghanistan is because the US was attacked. Iraq wasn’t NATO it was a collection of allies, most of which happened to be NATO, but also included Australia and New Zealand. Libya is the closest it can be said NATO has come to an offensive, though that was in reaction to Gaddafi’s human rights violations, and wasn’t an invasion to take territory.

          As for weapon sales, the US is the worlds biggest arms dealer. We sell guns to everyone, that has nothing to do with NATO.

            Nato is an imperialist alliance where all countries mostly share the same goal.

            Nato is involved in Iran. And if you mean 9 11 well the us deserved that. And if nato will intervene for human rights violations will be all over Israel Azerbaijan or gulf states but surprise surprise

              Nato has fuck all to do with Iran right now. The only real players are the US and the GCC.
