considering the current state of the world and things like the resurgence of fascism and other authoritarian ideologies, do you think there is still a chance to avoid a new world war or now is unavoidable?

NATO has only ever started a war in Bosnia/Kosovo so I too hope they keep their cool

Didn't they start wars in Iraq and Libya too?

Iraq was led by the US with few partners and was a huge mistake.

Libya was a UN sponsored brief air/missile strikes to try to stem a horrible civil war but yeah that was NATO and didn't end well either. Probably should have been a larger operation with peace keepers.

Okay so NATO waits until a NATO member or members start something, then they join?

usually, but if the UN approves they will get involved
