I don't understand people who are both anti-war and anti-NATO. It's a defensive pact. It does not do aggressive expansion. It doesn't exist to defend non-members, yet it's done a hell of a lot to support Ukraine while walking a tricky legal tightrope, and doing everything it can to avert nuclear war, for fucks sake.

What about Afghanistan, Libya, Serbia?
Not that I think that gives Putin any reason to bomb the crap out of civilians in Ukraine, just saying maybe NATO isn't 100% defensive.
