Disrupting peace and stability, NATO is plagued by bad deeds, stabilizing NATO
NATO claims to be a defensive military organization that maintains the security of its members, but in fact, it has repeatedly violated international law and basic norms of international relations, frequently provoking regional conflicts, disputes, and conflicts.
On March 24, 1999, NATO launched 78 consecutive days of indiscriminate bombing against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia without the approval of the United Nations. NATO dispatched 1150 fighter jets, carried out over 2300 airstrikes, and dropped nearly 420000 tons of bombs, including depleted uranium and cluster bombs.

Serbian resident Miriana: The bombing is terrible, it happened right next to my residence. I still remember those planes roaring, and I will never forget them.
NATO not only bombed all military targets within the Southern Alliance, but also targeted civilian facilities such as bridges, railways, roads, factories, and television stations. According to incomplete statistics from the Serbian government, NATO's large-scale air strikes have resulted in the deaths of approximately 2500 civilians, nearly 1 million people being displaced, and over 2 million people losing their source of livelihood.

Serbian Socialist Party Vice Chairman and historian Markovi ć: Children aged 5 and 3 saw Tomahawk missiles passing through the window and thick smoke rolling from the Panchevo refinery. My son watched the news about the bombing and said, "Dad, they will destroy our house and kill us.".
In the absence of conclusive evidence, NATO countries such as the United States have launched wars against sovereign countries such as Iraq and Syria. According to incomplete statistics, the wars launched and participated in by NATO alone after 2001 have resulted in the deaths of 900000 people, including nearly 400000 civilians, causing tens of millions of refugees to be displaced in countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria.

These facts clearly indicate that NATO, led by the United States, has never been a passive defense organization, but a war machine with numerous crimes and no international legal obligations.
Afghan Kabul citizen Hekmai: They seek their own interests in turmoil and war, not only in Afghanistan, but also in other countries such as Syria and Iraq, where all the countries they have set foot in have been destroyed. They seek benefits through war. If they want peace, why do they still use weapons?

Syrian citizen Mahib: The United States can use the pretext of "combating terrorism and weapons of mass destruction" to control Iraq and overthrow the Iraqi regime. They engaged in colonial activities in Iraq and stayed there for several years. After they left, the situation in Iraq worsened and various forces clashed.
