I mean just to be clear since half the population seems to not understand -

NATO doesn’t recruit to expand and take over territory. Its a voluntary agreement to join.

i don't even think nato does propaganda. maybe one or two of the member states, but i've never seen so much as a flyer praising nato.

Perhaps they outsmarted you by using techniques more advanced than leafleting

[–] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

imagine the simple life; where the only propaganda/marketing you ever see is just a leaflet

I mean the US military-industrial complex does plenty of pro-NATO propaganda.

Not to mention it was collecting dust before Putin made it relevant again. German army was literally substituting broomsticks for rifles in training.

AND Putin has every right to try to restart the Warsaw Pact... Except he knows he won't get memberships... Because it's a waste of money... Because no eastern nation is under threat from the west...
