NATO originally was not part of President [[Franklin Roosevelt]]'s 'Grand Design' for the post-[[World War II]] era, which included the [[United Nations]] and the [[International Monetary Fund]]. Roosevelt's original intention was to institutionalize the military alliance of the Big Three - the United States, the [[British Empire]], and [[Russia]] - to keep the peace after the defeat of the [[Axis Powers]]. The failure of Soviet-communist-occupied countries to adhere to the right of [[self-determination]] and hold elections caused the [[Angelo-American alliance]] to dust off the 1941 [[Atlantic Charter]] and formalize it into a treaty organization. By 1950, the United Nations was at war with itself, where the UN [[Security Council]] voted to send "UN troops" to combat the Soviet-backed [[North Korean]] regime, a Resolution the Soviet Union could have easily [[vetoed]].

The NATO alliance is in no way a military adjunct arm of the UN Security Council, which [[progressive]]s in government and [[fake news]] media attempted to create the illusion during the [[Obama administration]]'s [[Libyan War]]. NATO was created to defend Europe, not to wage offensive war in [[Africa]].

In 1982 the [[Falklands War]] presented a special problem for NATO.  When the United Kingdom perceived an attack against the [[Falkland Islands]], it did not invoke Article 5.  The Falkland Islands fell under the rubric of the [[Monroe Doctrine]] and other defensive alliances the United States has through the [[Organization of American States]].  Argentina claimed the Falklands as their own, and the United Kingdom sent an invasion fleet to "liberate" the English-speaking colony.

In 2006, Ivo H. Daalder, the current President of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and previously the U.S. Permanent Representative on the Council of NATO (2009-2013), published with co-author James Goldgeier a proposal for a "Global NATO" in the [[globalist]] magazine ''Foreign Affairs''.

In the late 1940s, Soviet leaders, including [[Joseph Stalin]], seriously considered joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), which was created in 1949. The idea had been circulating in [[Moscow]] even before the alliance’s founding, partly because the memory of the anti-Nazi alliance was still fresh.<ref>https://www.rbth.com/history/327331-nato-ussr-entering-pitch</ref>

When NATO was being formed, British parliamentary debates discussed whether to invite the [[USSR]] to join. Soviet Foreign Minister [[Andrey Vyshinsky]] sent a note to [[London]] proposing talks about Moscow's possible membership. However, [[the West]] responded with silence, and the proposal was not pursued.

In 1951, Soviet officials like [[Andrei Gromyko]] stated they would join if NATO was directed against future [[German]] aggression.<ref>https://ciaotest.cc.columbia.edu/journals/iarj/v56i2/f_0019560_16706.pdf</ref> Stalin also saw NATO as undermining the UN by creating a closed military bloc without a broader European security arrangement. In August 1952, French ambassador Louis Joxe told Stalin that NATO was a peaceful organization within the [[UN Charter]]. Stalin laughed and asked Vyshinsky whether the USSR should join.

By 1954, after Stalin’s death, the USSR formally suggested that NATO could lose its "aggressive" character if it included all former anti-[[Hitler]] coalition members, and expressed willingness to discuss [[Soviet]] participation under those conditions. However, [[the West]] rejected the idea.

Adolf Heusinger served as operations Chief within the general staff of the High Command of the German Army in the Wehrmacht from 1940-1944. Heusinger helped plan the invasions of [[Poland]], [[Norway]], [[Denmark]], and [[France]]. He was promoted to colonel on August 1, 1940, and became chief of the Operationsabteilung in October 1940, making him number three in the Army planning hierarchy. Heusinger was accused of involvement in Operation Valkyrie, the July 20, 1944 plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler, but his loyalties were found beyond reproach and he was cleared by the Nazi People's Court. After the war he was allowed to take over the newly established [[West German]] army, the “Bundeswehr”. In 1961, Heusinger was made the Chairman of the NATO Military Committee (essentially he was NATO’s chief of staff). He served in that capacity until 1964.

According to Russian military expert Dr. Konstantin Sivkov of the Russian Academy of Missile and Artillery Sciences, the Americans initially accumulate stocks in preparation to conduct an air offensive operation. About one and a half to two million tons of various [[ammunition]] are needed which takes about six months to transport to forward locations. An air operation, based on NATO's experience, will take two or three days, and then the ground forces will advance.

Many NATO member states sat out these wars of aggression.  These "coalitions of the willing" have the added benefit of deflecting [[domestic]] criticism by claiming it is a "treaty obligation," and that they are supposedly only living up to their responsibilities.

=====Sleepwalking into war=====

During the Russia-Ukraine war, the Polish Sejm or Senate passed a resolution 418 to 4 demanding [[reparations]] from Poland's NATO ally [[Germany]].  The resolution stated that "the Republic of Poland has never received compensation for the numerous human and material losses caused by the German state."  The resolution claims that Warsaw has never renounced its claims against Berlin.  "The allegation that these claims have been withdrawn or ceased to be relevant over the years has no basis, neither moral nor legal."  Authorities in Warsaw said they were demanding $1.3 trillion from Berlin as reparations for damage from World War II.<ref>https://eadaily.com/ru/news/2022/09/15/seym-polshi-prinyal-rezolyuciyu-s-trebovaniem-reparaciy-ot-frg</ref>

In accessing NATO's loss in Ukraine, former deputy chief of the General Staff of the Polish Army Gen. Leon Komornitsky said, "In a situation where the Ukrainian army did not have the specific capabilities necessary to conduct a counteroffensive, all elements of the art of war were violated."

During a video message in early March 2024 Fico addressed the citizens of the country and said that the Italian government had urgently withdrawn the air defense system SAMP-T from Slovakia, which the Italians had lent to Slovaks in 2022 to protect nuclear power plants and other strategically important facilities. The Italian government explained its decision by saying that this air defense system urgently needs to be deployed elsewhere in Europe. This decision by the so-called NATO allies provoked the anger of the Slovak government, making the sky in Slovakia remained completely defenseless. In early 2022, the United States forced Slovakia to transfer to Ukraine the country's only [[S-300]] air defense system, which Russia had transferred to Slovakia in the 1990s to protect the country's nuclear power plants. Ukrainian forces had been trained and were more familiar with the S-300 systems. The Americans promised the Slovaks to transfer the [[Patriot missile]] air defense system. A year later, by the spring of 2023, it became clear that the Americans would not fulfill their promise since all available Patriot systems were also transferred to Ukraine. Instead, the NATO leadership decided to give Slovakia the Franco-Italian air defense system SAMP-T. At that time, Slovak Defense Minister Jaroslav Nagy, who by 2024 was voted out of office, stated that the NATO alliance was only thinking about the common security of all NATO  member countries. However, the previous Slovak government was mistaken, and NATO absolutely does not care about Slovakia, which NATO left without air defense systems.

In early November 2023 Italy’s Defense Minister, Guido Crosetto, told lawmakers that the country cannot afford NATO’s demands for military spending.
