Albania, Georgia etc. in NATO?

Question

What does NATO stand for and what is now it's purpose?

Answer 1

NATO is not like it was in the past (an organization of countries which would support and defend a country-member in a threat or war).

Nowadays the use of NATO only serves the interests of USA in the world.

So in reality has no purpose of existence.

I don't believe that there is a real threat for any country-member of NATO except USA.

I don't understand why these countries should send army in wars (Afghanistan, Irak etc) and have loses of human lifes , only to support the interests of USA !

Plus that if another country of NATO had a need for help, no one would send help.

We must understand that the only purpose of NATO is the "good" of USA .

Answer 2

Anyone could be The Enemy. The purpose of N.A.T.O. to fight Resource Wars. There is something more effective than N.A.T.O. which could be of use. The Human Right to own The Planet and conserve natural resources. N.A.T.O. has been said to be working for entirely humanitarian motives. Well  with a pen instead of guns,fighter planes , or bombs  people could reduce quite a bit of  warfare.

Answer 3

There's a sinister little twist to this, as the ruling party in Kazakhstan is "Nur Otan".  OTAN, of course, is what NATO is called in the Latin languages. "Only Otan."  I smell a plot...http://www.isn.ethz.ch/news/sw/details.c...

Answer 4

NATO was established after WWII to defend the Western democracies from Stalin's brutal dictatorship. Since the Soviet empire collapsed, many former oppressed communist countries joined NATO. For a short time during Gorbachev and Yeltsin time Russia was a friend of the West and co operated with the NATO. Today Putin is an enemy like the Soviet regime was. NATO is the defence shield of the Western democracies against terrorist organisations, terrorist states and other hostile elements. Without NATO the Western democracies would not exist today.
