    I don’t get the downvotes, you are correct. The OP’s comment that NATO only intervenes defensively is clearly wrong.

    Should they intervene here? No, definitely not because this is a stupid, stupid war, and that’s reason enough.

      It wasn’t a NATO operation though. It just involved NATO countries. The majority of NATO countries didn’t participate.

      Participation was voluntary. If it was a NATO operation, it would have been mandatory for every member.

      I think it’s my mistake for wording my comment in such a way that it sounds like I think the intervention in Yugoslavia was bad. That was not the point I was making, but I see how it could be interpreted as such.

        Your mistake is disagreeing with a comment that said “NATO good”. The nature of the disagreement is irrelevant. It’s the centrist form of the tankie purity test.
