NATO and Security Concerns
NATO is perceived as a threat to security by some individuals.
A question arises as to why Britain should be part of a military bloc that engages in endless wars and has armed Israel, citing examples in Darulaman, Afghanistan, as of September 2, 2010.
Zarah Sultana stated that Britain should withdraw from NATO because it is "an imperialist war machine."
Sultana referenced Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan, arguing that NATO's track record of "endless wars" has made the world "less safe."
- Centrists criticized Sultana, labeling her a "crank," "infantile," "delusional," and a "Russian asset."
- Others resorted to racist attacks.
- In contrast, many people expressed support for her view.
The backlash from status quo supporters was predictable and pathetic, given that NATO has long been a sensitive topic in British politics.
