            Russians are the only ones who don’t like it when we drop bombs on kids. Idk why they wanna spoil everyone else’s fun! The kids are fine with it, it’s just those mean ol’ Russians going on about “human rights” or whatever. The million dollar bombs that we build instead of paying for healthcare, education, or functional bridges are so damn cool that the only reason anyone would possibly have a problem with them is if they just hate America.

            This is what y’all actually believe, but the even crazier part is that you’ve somehow managed to convince yourselves you’re leftists!

            The first picture is an apartment block getting leveled.

            The second one is a man at Abu Gharib being electrocuted with mains power, where thousands of prisoners, mostly picked up for petty crimes or detained without trial met worse fates, including worse torture, rape, and murder.

            The third is a child who managed to tear her clothes off after the US dropped napalm on them as they fled their village, but was burnt badly enough she had to spend 14 months in the hospital. She was one of the lucky ones.

            The fourth is the second atomic bomb the US dropped on a civilian population.

            From what perspective is murdering hundreds (hundreds of thousands in the case of Nagasaki) of civilians just trying to live their lives on the other side of the planet acts of self-defense?

              Nice spin. The point is that NCD is defense themed and Nato themed, not that the pictures aren’t of atrocities.

                NCD is not about “defence” it’s about war and the glorification of weapons used to murder children. At best it’s ironic and incredibly tasteless, more realistically, they’re just a bunch of bloodthirsty fascists hiding behind irony for plausible deniability.

                Claiming that any of the war crimes pictured was anything to do with “defense” (as opposed to “offense” or, better yet, “bloodthirsty neocolonial conquest”) is olympic-tier mental gymnastics.

                In OP are images of what NATO, an organization that has never fought a defensive war in its entire existence, calls defense.

                    The US is not NATO

                    It kinda is tho. It was set up by the US to counter the Warsaw pact and prey upon neutral countries, as Blinken put it “If you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu”. This is evidenced by every single NATO action being in the US’s interest.

                    Especially now with Trump in daddy Putins pocket.

                    As funny as it would be for Trump to dismantle NATO, his only issue with it is that it doesn’t do enough imperialism.

                NATO is the largest Imperialist millitary coalition in the world, NCD being NATO focused directly means that it’s focused on celebrating Imperialist atrocities.
