"Why does NATO still exist?"
Guess we can see very clearly why, right now.
Yess and who said NATO IS not needed anymore maybe this is the reason why that organization still exist
Definitely! 🇹🇷🇺🇦
Absolutely
What about the 90s and the early 2000s

I genuinely don't think I ever learned about NATO in school. Much appreciate for this!
Same
Same!
It’s weird how there isn’t a good standard of teaching. Cause I remember learning about NATO
In the U.S. is usually taught during high school
What are they teaching to kids now? You can't teach history about the 20th century without mentioning NATO.
Kind of funny that NATO has a CZcams channel
What's so funny about that? Countless organizations have social media pages......
russia, cina e corea del nord non lo approvano
There are 208 countries in the world. 30 of them are NATO members. More than 70 percent of the world's defense expenditures belong to NATO. The total defense expenditure of the remaining 178 countries is not even 30 percent. A truly extraordinary power. Leader in all forces in air, land and sea.
What should we do then?
russia, china and India are major countries outsiode of nato and expect russia both china and india are going to increase their defence budget rapidly. On the other hand, due to refugess and shrinking population of europe, there number will decrease in long course of time.

but they are actually a danger to no one, unless they are attacked....pretty sound logic, that.

I am from Scotland and when I was 10 years old my father introduced me to this old man who had one foot.
He was a ww2 veteran and unfortunately stood on an anti personnel mine.
As time went on I heard of NATO on television.
It reminded me of that old ww2 veteran as everybody called him NATO.
Now I realise that it's also an army. Strange that.
strange
True
But it was formed in 1949 ..and WW2 happened before that time

“For evil men to accomplish their purpose, it is only necessary that good men do nothing,”
Never a truer word spoken.
Do you know who is the author of this quote?
This one is slightly different than the one you've quoted; but the meaning is pretty much the same.
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
I'm just curious, without any internet to provoke you, or anyone else.

I'm so glad Sophie Ellis-Bextor took the time to narrate this video.
Watching this after finding out how close the strike was to the NATO border. Although we in the UK have allies; these are still horrendously scary & terrifying times :(
Wars have never stopped but instead have changed forms. As we're seeing countries join NATO (or not) we're seeing clear lines being drawn that foreshadow possible War of a more traditional kind. Russia/Ukraine is just the beginning imo.
Just think how scary it is for those who aren't NATO memebers. Look at Iraq. Have they found those weapons of mass destruction? Sleep easy if you live in a NATO country, then you are safe. How many NATO countries have a majority non white population? Diversity is not a big thing for NATO. All the world's biggest colonial powers are part of NATO. Believe me, that scares everybody in the old colonies.

I'm just here for school tbh
I'm here to understand a debate topic no one in my class understands

As of 2023, it has 31 members. The 31st member is Finland. Soon, Sweden will be the 32nd member of NATO.👏👏👏
sweden is the best i hope the ikea power join!
@christophercarlone9945 the fact no nato country has ever been attack perfectly sums up its necessity. If ukraine was in nato, it would never have been invaded. Peace through unity of nations
@@christophercarlone9945 I think the invasion of Ukraine is all the necessity it needs today my friend
❤❤❤
@@SupremeRTSUS get attacked by Terror. Article 5 was in charge back then in 9/11
Finland has option to join into NATO. Finland joining into NATO would stabilize whole eastern Europe because Finland has and always had really strong ground army.
Why are they not joining?🤔
not really. Bordering Russia, it would be considered as a threat to Russia and would destabilize peace. I think every country should join nato as long as it's not viewed as a threat to a country that doesn't agree with NATO's principles
putin will not be very happy if finland joins nato
@@an_omega_wolf For Russia, basically anything is a threat. And considering Russia´s actions AND THREATS, whatever it says now should be followed the other way around.
@@Solid_Snake88 Hopefully very soon
Who is here after Putin Tucker interview?
Thank you I’m learning so much
please explain nato again with recent developments such as Finland's entry into it
This is my first time learning about what NATO truly is and in my eyes is the closest thing we have to a world government the closest thing we have to no borders and being one planet we may be hundreds of years away from that reality maybe even thousands, But after learning what NATO is I think I could support its existence. I'm not 100% sure what they have done and why some people don't like them but I like the idea behind it.
maybe the same reason why criminals don't like the Police.
How is world government a good thing? What are the positive in your mind?
@@Vekikev1 Easier coordination on everything, from immigration to ensuring other countries get the help they need to be self-suficient (instead of donating to charity and keep sending food or whatnot investing in actual projects), a sense of unity pretty much like how patriotism works but for the whole planet. Easier for someone to become a whistle blower if there is corruption because its a very big entity with many workers instead of a small party inside a country. The benefits are many, also no wars in between us pretty much like NATO works now. If you are thinking in an Illuminati New World Order kind of world government then I can see why is not appealing to you but thats bullshit. While we are still far from corruption I can realize how certain political groups, including Russia, try to scare people with those conspiracy theories to gain followers, same as cults. Not all conspiracy theories are a lie but many are exagerated or plain false to push a narrative.
A beautiful theory and ideology but dangerous, just like Napoleon was.
@@Eledin91 The larger & more overarching a administrative organisation is, the more complicated becomes coordination on a local & individual level, because the distanced burocratic autoreties lack the connection & the comprehension with the situsation of the logstics in material & mind's on a level beneath the overarching burocratic world. This leads to a sufficating amount of burocratic over-regulation of basically everything, as the failing attempt of the burocrats, to keep control over a system that became quickly to bloated. Thats the main issues of the EU.
Thank you so much for this information about NATO?I was really informed what really NATO is!
My Estonian friend is really glad to be in NATO😉. I'm glad we have NATO to maintain the peace and stability.
Can't wait fot that *[2022 version]*
For the first time NATO gives me an actual sense of security.
Why was the 1982 falklands war not considered an attack on all allies?
A combination of articles 5 and 6 didn't put an obligation on NATO to intervene in the Falklands conflict:
Article 5
The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognised by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.
Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall immediately be reported to the Security Council. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security .
Article 6
For the purpose of Article 5, an armed attack on one or more of the Parties is deemed to include an armed attack:
on the territory of any of the Parties in Europe or North America, on the Algerian Departments of France , on the territory of Turkey or on the Islands under the jurisdiction of any of the Parties in the North Atlantic area north of the Tropic of Cancer;
on the forces, vessels, or aircraft of any of the Parties, when in or over these territories or any other area in Europe in which occupation forces of any of the Parties were stationed on the date when the Treaty entered into force or the Mediterranean Sea or the North Atlantic area north of the Tropic of Cancer.
Note: Algeria is now an independent country + the Falklands are south of the Tropic of Cancer.
It was just only over some islands
@@MikeC_BE_2870 Could you explain it to me like i'm 5?
@@MikeC_BE_2870 Why does it need to be only territories north of the Tropic of Cancer?
Because uk is enough 😂
04APR23 Finland as a member of NATO
simply explained. Thanks.
Well Explained! Thanks.
I'm an American and I'm all in on the alliance. We're stronger together.
Spectacular NATO Forever
Zawsze aktualne, Szacunek!
Thankful for NATO and all our Allies right now! I learned about this in high school, but never fully comprehended the importance of this alliance until now! ❤️🙏🏼
Thanks
I love How this comment section feels like a game guild chat with people casually asking If their country can join
LMAO
😂😂 👌
Crazy how it was made after ww2 and has a yt channel it’s cool
As a former soldier in the Swiss army, I would immediately volunteer again if our country were to join NATO. what was once called brain death is now the largest organization for peace and freedom in the world, i am very grateful to nato, greetings from switzerland
I am doing a project about NATO!
me too, I will have a presentation about Nato next week
How did your projects go?
Well its everyone's project these days due to the war of Russia Ukraine
Same lmao
I love NATO
Hey to the people who didn’t really know what NATO really was.
the school system has failed us
Never learned about this in school.
Former nurse from SHAPE-NATO. Loved my job in Belgium !!!
My friends from Belgium
What are you doing now?
#NATO (stands for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization) is still relevant since 1949.
Thanks
Great INTRO!
I am going to Learn this
Together we are stronger!
The background music is too loud compared to the narrator. Please adjust next time.
What is the relationship with the United nations?
Well, NATO is more democratic. UN has the security council where the five permanent members can stop the handling of their war crimes and crimes against the humanity: Russia, China, US, UK, France.
UN should be fixed by demolishing the veto right of the five countries.
How about creating and welcoming members on pacific?
Like, PATO- Pacific-Asia-Treaty-Organization..??
so that everyone will get a super powered allied nation all over the world for security and diplomacy.
Nice
I truly hope to see NATO and our Indo-Pacific partners build an ever larger, stronger, further reaching alliance.
NATO+IP
We're 950+ million individuals strong right now. I want to see that number pushed past a billion.
We are on track to spend (USD) $1.25 trillion dollars on defense as an Alliance. A few hundred billion more wouldn't hurt.
Poland and Korea are working closely together.
Australia and the US/UK are working together to get Australia nuclear submarines.
Japan, Korea, and US are securing and building up the chain of islands surrounding China.
There's a lot of equipment moving around right now... F-35s are selling like hotcakes.
I'm incredibly proud of our Allies and partners.
If we all work ass one no one would need anything cause we have each other ✍️💪🤝✊✊✊🔥🔥🌹
Help us, NATO, we need to be saved from dictators... With love from sober-minded russian.
@@peach5438 Yep, it’s all true. I watched Russian news. The Kremlin propaganda works great on russian people.
you are a honest russian , respect !
Hold for hope and commit respectable action on your homefront! Just know the Free World supports you!
Read this: You know what? How about we the people just stop obeying our leaders all at once and suddenly there is no war? Ummm...let's put the leaders in a cage where they can fight each other best they want, whilst we the people love eachother and cook good food and party??

Damn, NATO main theme in the background hitting different
Can't belive nato owns a YT account
How fast do you become a member? If a country joins nato
It can takes years to join 25 years at most 5 months least
What qualifies a country to join?

When @NATO replies to your CZcams comment, lol It's kinda crazy that a military alliance can just reply to you.

My brother was the one telling me about NATO
I'm from Malaysia & my father received lots of NATO & UN medals, flags & books when I was born during the 90s. He was in the Malaysia's Royal Armored Corps when he was deployed in the Yugoslavia & Balkan as Peacekeeper. Some of the NATO medals he received written as "In service of Peace & Freedom" then with secondary French words (Former Yugoslavia), then another 3 medals have Malaysia & NATO Flags side by side written MALCON (Malaysian Contingent) IFOR, SFOR & KFOR.
Do you guys from western countries think this is weird or it's normal because NATO never have limit in alliance across the globe?

Bit of belated comment, but Colombia is officially a Nato global partner .. so , its good to have you guys alongside ..
We are assosiated with NATO check Colombia in the map 2:59
Yes associated. Columbia has a way to go by destroying the corruption still holding the country back.

the world needs nato but nato members must also pay their fair share. the americans are and have always been generous so for them to call out this matter means it is serious.

NATO is easily the strongest military alliance in the world.
Is it?
If China should join Russia, who would then be the dominant alliance between them and Nato.
@@PivotPoint007 why would China join Russia?
@@PivotPoint007 NATO and it is not even close. Look at list of countries by military expenditures. USA 39% , china 13% of total dollars spend world wide on military. And if germany spends the 2% of its GDP it promised it will spend more than russia. Not even counting the rest of the countries, which includes other big economies like UK, France and rest of Europe.
@@PivotPoint007 Still NATO. US military spending alone is more than China+Russia. And we all have seen Russia's performance in Ukraine.
