“[trimmed] 1 of…greatest things to come out of all those sacrifices [of WW2] was…North Atlantic Treaty Organization [NATO]. It was created to prevent…circumstances that caused both world wars, an imbalance of military power among neighboring countries. People build…strong army, they want to use it. Maybe annex…weaker country, &…another. & suddenly, everyone has to jump into…fight. World war. And…last 1 produced…most dangerous weapon of all. So…superpowers met each other's capabilities. They signed…nonproliferation agreement to stop…spread of nuclear weapons. Because of NATO, we were able to say to our allies you don't need to build up your military or nuclear arsenal to feel safe from Russia or any other enemy. Because we have your back. Our army is your army. Your conflict is our conflict. If NATO fails…European nations will be on their own. & then everyone jumps back into an arms race. & I truly believe that is the end of our western democracy as we know it.” -Madam Secretary S3E23
