Using literally the NATO website to "debunk Russian misinformation about NATO*.

This is “he said, she said” but geopolitics.

I’d recommend checking out Perun, William Spaniel, or covert cobal. They do analysis of lots of sources of information. Covert cobal specifically purchases his own satellite surveillance of storage depots, which gives a very good unbiased indication of reserves sizes.

NATO is a defensive alliance. It does not seek confrontation and poses no threat to Russia, or any other nations. NATO did not invade Georgia. NATO did not invade Ukraine. Russia did.

Full ACK.

Super Interesting the section at the bottom with “Archived claims (before February 2022)”. Because Russias Firehose of falsehood is that massive between 2000-2014 and 2014-2022 , that it is quite interesting to see what claims continued and what were added new by russian propaganda.

Here are the claims before 2022: (All of course propaganda by russia)

  • Claim: NATO’s presence in the Baltic region is dangerous
  • Claim: NATO missile defence threatens Russian security
  • Claim: NATO is aggressive and a threat to Russia
  • Claim: NATO enlargement threatens Russia
  • Claim: NATO nuclear sharing and nuclear exercises violate the Non-Proliferation Treaty
  • Claim: NATO’s enhanced forward presence violates the NATO-Russia Founding Act?
  • Claim: NATO promised Russia it would not expand after the Cold War
  • Claim: By suspending practical cooperation with Russia, NATO undermines security
  • Claim: Russia has the right to demand a guarantee that Ukraine and Georgia will not join NATO
  • Claim: NATO has bases all around the world
  • Claim: NATO whips up ‘hysteria’ over Russia’s exercises
  • Claim: NATO is a U.S. geopolitical project
  • Claim: NATO has tried to isolate or marginalise Russia
  • Claim: NATO should have disbanded at the end of the Cold War
  • Claim: NATO’s operation in Afghanistan was a failurecs
  • Claim: NATO’s operation over Libya was illegitimate
  • Claim: NATO’s operation over Kosovo was illegitimate

Always the victim - yet the best and strongest country on earth. Ridiculous.
