              I did not say the US was not PART of NATO.

              You just said that I lied when I pointed out that the US is a part of NATO. So, yes, you did say that the US is not a part of NATO.

              You are lying again.

              You just conveniently can’t point to any lies that I have said. /s

                  You said that I said US was not part of NATO. That is a lie.

                  Here is the second comment where I said that the US is a part of NATO:

                  The US is, however, a part of NATO, and its de facto owner.

                  Here is you response to it:

                  I mean… What is 1 additional lie from you, right?

                  So, yes, you did say that the US was somehow not a part of NATO.

      That vague argument could be made, but you are the one now making a claim, and I’d like to see you provide something that shows that, materially speaking, they don’t do whatever the US wants like, 90% of the time.

      Like obvs there are other countries involved, but ultimately, do they do much without the consent or direction of the US? Like direct, concrete action, and not just fluff?

      NATO is dominated by the US. NATO is the alliance of imperialist countries, and the US is the top imperialist country. The US controls the vast majority of NATO, and the secondary members participate insofar as they wish to perpetuate their imperialist dominance as secondary empires.
