TWT22 // We Need to Talk About NATO

2022 has put the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation under the spotlight more than at any time in the post-Cold War period. NATO is a powerful arm of US foreign policy which has wreaked untold destruction in countries like Libya, Afghanistan and Iraq. This short history of NATO aims to give perspective on the current crisis in Ukraine and orientate us for the struggles ahead.
