The '''North Atlantic Treaty Organization''' ('''NATO''', ''French:'' '''OTAN''', ''Russian:'' '''HATO''') is a [[military]] alliance consisting of the [[United States]] and 31 [[vassal state]]s also known as the '''[[US]]+'''. It was founded by 12 countries after [[World War II]], on April 4, 1949, to counter the [[communist]] [[Soviet Union]].  NATO is the only military alliance that stations [[nuclear weapon]]s on non-nuclear nations' territory. [[Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.]] has referred to the NATO as a "[[CIA]] subsidiary".<ref>The CIA is reputed to have murdered both Robert Kennedy's father [[RFK Sr.]], and his uncle, [[President John F. Kennedy]] for the purpose of involving the United States and the [[American]] people in the [[perpetual war]] in [[Vietnam]], which both Kennedy's opposed.</ref>

Like all military alliances, NATO was built to protect an economic alliance or trading bloc - in this case what came to be known as the post-1945 [[EU|European Free Trade Zone]], and later on [[NAFTA]]. Largely a [[bureaucracy]], there is no [[democracy|democratically]]-elected [[parliament]] to oversee NATO's [[weapon]]'s and [[money laundering]] schemes.

NATO has bloated to 32 member countries as of 2024, more than 30 years after the Soviet Union dissolved. Despite calling itself a "defensive alliance", NATO has never fought a defensive war. NATO has engaged in wars of aggression, violating the territorial integrity, attacking and invading multiple sovereign states.
