    NATO sure as shit didn’t defend any of their member nations. Interventionalism is when you invade a country claiming that it’s “for their own good”. See: Afganistan or the second Iraq war.

      It did stop the ethnic cleansing though.

      I’m not sure if interventionalism is another term for the same thing but interventionism is what I often see used for what you’re describing.

        It did stop the ethnic cleansing though.

        The ethnic cleansing was just a pretence, though. Why is that so obvious when Russia claims a genocide is happening but not with NATO?

          I mean the ethnic cleansing was happening and was stopped by NATO. So that’s good imo

            Even if NATO’s intervention severely increased the death toll (including ethnic albanians) and whether or not the ethnic cleansing was actually happening is at least debatable?

                And you just accept it. Why don’t you accept Putin’s justification for ivading Ukraine?

                  A lot more evidence to support the ethnic cleansing in Kosovo than to support ethnic cleansing in East Ukraine from what I can see
