That's like saying Canada is responsible for something Mexico did because they're both on the same continent...

NATO is purely a defense agreement.

It is more like saying the axis is known to invade nations because its member states invade nations. Okay, sure, Germany and Italy invaded the soviet union but Japan didn't, you can't say they're not a defensive alliance /s
