DISINFO: NATO destroyed Europe's security
SUMMARY
NATO destroyed the security of Europe.
<...>
The waves of enlargement of the Alliance changed the situation in Europe. The NATO infrastructure moved closer to vitally important centres of Russia. This distorts the post-Cold War security situation.
Moscow was pushed to adopt political and military planning to answer the strengthening of the Alliance.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives accusing NATO of hostility towards Russia.
NATO is an Alliance based on collective defense. As is declared on the official webpage of the Alliance:
"NATO's purpose is to guarantee the freedom and security of its members through political and military means".
NATO's exercises and military deployments are not directed against Russia, nor any other country. Exercises are designed to ensure that NATO forces are trained, able to operate together and ready to respond to any threat from any direction.
Read similar cases alleging that NATO prepares to attack Russia, or that the Alliance is driven by Russophobia and enlarged to the East despite promises not to do that.
