I know what the doctrine of NATO is. No need to google it.
NATO doctrine is based on mutual defence of its member nations.

Yet you stated clearly NATO has a no first strike nuclear doctrine.
Which it doesn't have.
Remember when Stevo flounced off and let his rage against the West seep out in alternate threads instead.
Great days.
Great days.
You’re quoting stuff from google that’s outdated going back to the 70’s.
NATO updates its policies and strategies every few years or in direct response to world order situations.
The last strategy review was in 2022
Why don’t you have a read - you appear to have plenty of time on your hands.

Chapter’s 28-32 cover NATO’s CURRENT nuclear policy. No mention of first strike there.
Also read the chapters relating to NATO’s position on Russia and you will clearly see NATO is not a threat to Russia (only in the eyes of Putin).

Errrm, I was quoting directly from the official NATO site actually.
read it two years ago
No me too of no first strike btw for a reason - because it doesn't have that doctrine and never has had.
Russia abandoned it's doctrine in 92, only India and China have it now out of the nuclear powers
Yeah I'd expect to see them stating we are a threat to Russia in their official documents ...
I did see them describe themselves as purely a defensive organisation though, ask the Serbs if they agree about that after NATO bombed them for half a year+

Some effort that.
NATO’s bombing of Serbia was done to save lives and effectively brought an end to the Serbian genocide against the Kosovar Albanians.
Even today the legitimacy of that decision is still debated within the UN. Russia itself said that NATO didn’t have the legal authority to act, however at the time the initial call for NATO support came from the UN forces on the ground in Kosovo as they had lost control and were unable to stop the bloodshed.

More on the planning around cable sabotage.
Some clearly have no idea what the reality of the situation is.
Concerns grow over possible Russian sabotage of undersea cables
The United States has recently detected indications of increased Russian military activity around key undersea cables, fueling concerns over a possible escalation in the Kremlin's hybrid war against the west, writes Aleksander Cwalina.www.atlanticcouncil.org
Making Russia Pay for Hybrid Attacks
There is a range of actions the West can take to counter Russia‘s malign activities. With the problem worsening, they need to be swift.

It was fine bypassing the UN security council, it was not in any way a exertion if article 5 and article 4 does not authorise the use of force.
So the NATO charter according to you authorised the use of force not in a defending NATO manner, but in an aggressive way to punish another country you didn't agree with but who you didn't have UN approval to intervene in.
How is that a purely defensive organisation
Why aren't they bombing the [Poor language removed] out of Israel? Why aren't you arguing they should be doing so?
