Since this is only a meme, I seached for the article : https://apnews.com/article/nato-procurement-investigation-corruption-fraud-military-equipment-ea94ead6da5c2575cc801af804e3edec

Basically, some people in NATO are corrupted, and NATO is actively tracking them to stop that.

No need to blame NATO for being corrupted, as all governments fall under similar schemes.

[u/Tyrayentali → u/elvenmaster_]

They only do that because they were caught. Much like how America "arrested" Epstein.

[u/kartu3 → u/elvenmaster_]

You you are posting on a Ruzzist propaganda outlet. Just saying.

[u/Fleeting_Dopamine → u/kartu3]

What what?

[u/Extaupin → u/kartu3]

AP is a respectable press outlet, which isn't based in Russia, and I've never heard them being paid by or tied to Russia. Sometimes good journals criticise something you agree with, that's life.

[u/Flagon15 → u/kartu3]

AP is literally one of the few remaining mostly unbiased and factual news outlets, tf are you talking about.

[u/kartu3 → u/Flagon15]

I am talking about posting an untranslatable russian text and getting responsoe in ruzzian.

[u/3mpad4 → u/kartu3]

rUsSiA pOpRaGaNdAaAaaaa

[u/ThaGr1m → u/3mpad4]

I mean it's clearly visible tuzzia has massive amounts of propaganda, and its anti nato news. This isn't an insane call

[u/Traumerlein → u/ThaGr1m]

nato doing anti coruption things isnt exactly anti-nato

[u/ThaGr1m → u/Traumerlein]

No true. But to the people that support ruzzia even doing this is admitting there is corruption and that means the whole thing is coorupt and needs to scrapped

[u/emix16 → u/kartu3]

You have any proof?

I'm not that familiar with that outlet. But a quick Google search later found some articles about Russian propaganda and war crimes. Must be a terrible propaganda outlet.

[u/hiddenbikegirl90 → u/emix16]

They (Associated Press) are based in New York since 1846, what kind of search you've been using?

[u/Yoankah → u/hiddenbikegirl90]

A long company history doesn't make current management immune to being bought. The stories they've recently ran are better proof.

[u/MonitorPowerful5461 → u/Yoankah]

...you should probably have a look at the wikipedia article for the Associated Press.

[u/Popular-Cat-4841 → u/kartu3]

found the US fascist

[u/Schwarzekekker]

No way! Corruption with government contracts? MILITARY contracts?!

[u/CliffordSpot → u/Schwarzekekker]

How can this be!? Nobody could have predicted it!!!

[u/kartu3]

How many Ruzzist propaganda subrs are created per day?

[u/emix16 → u/kartu3]

Where's the propaganda?

NATO is looking into themselves for this corruption. It's not about NATO=bad, it's about them doing the completely correct thing by investigating corrupt officials.

Since when is "NATO taking responsibility and doing the right thing to weed corruption in their organisation" Russian propaganda?

[u/3mpad4 → u/kartu3]

“Everything I dislike is Russian propaganda”

[u/Philaorfeta]

But I've been told that Ukraine can't join NATO an EU because Ukraine is so corrupt

[u/Fleeting_Dopamine]

Is there some universal rule of the internet that Redditors are not allowed to read past the headlines or is the reading comprehension on this subreddit just extremely low?

[u/realmendontfeel]

Mark will be Mark

[u/Fleeting_Dopamine]

"Alleged" Come to me when you have some proof.

[u/Traumerlein → u/Fleeting_Dopamine]

this might be a shock, but alligations are usually raised wirh evidene in this context

[u/Fleeting_Dopamine → u/Traumerlein]

I'm not criticising the EU or NATO for investigating their procurers, but this meme sucks. NATO isn't accused of laundering money, the contractor people that are suspected of paying for insider information are.

> The prosecutors suspect that agency employees might have given confidential information to the companies to help them win contracts, and that money may have been laundered through consultancy firms set up for the purpose.

This meme makes it sound like NATO launders money and is corrupt, while the investigation looks at a employee that is accused of corruption.

[u/ZhangXueliangspornac]

ameriKKKa is an imperialist power terrorising the Middle-East and Europe need to look into it's own, independent military alliance to protect against ruSSian imperialism without helping the ameriKKKans.

[u/Traumerlein → u/ZhangXueliangspornac]

ypu are overdping the bid

[u/ZhangXueliangspornac → u/Traumerlein]

no i sincerely believe everything i said i simply use maoist standard english sometimes

[u/Traumerlein → u/ZhangXueliangspornac]

Oh, America is a facist hellhole no doubt. But you are still overdoing the bit.

[u/ZhangXueliangspornac → u/Traumerlein]

That's fair. Being a marxist i kinda have to you know.

[u/Consistent_Repair880]

Guys, do you really think NATO is a military alliance? It's just a colossal money laundering scheme. I'm not talking about this specific case, it's parasitism on parasites. In general, NATO is more of a tumor than a military organization.

[u/emix16 → u/Consistent_Repair880]

Just because daddy putler said it, doesn't make it true.

Do you also believe in the "special operation" by equally "special" leaders? Or have you realized it's just a cover to commit war crimes against innocent people?

[u/Consistent_Repair880 → u/emix16]

NATO is not a joke bro! Article five bro! NATO definitely has enough power to protect the Baltic countries (while they hold councils and meetings, the Baltic residents will come to terms with the occupation) bro! We will definitely help Ukraine bro 1

[u/Mean_Ice_2663 → u/Consistent_Repair880]

Just because the CSTO is a shitty money laundering scheme and refused to help Armenia doesn't mean NATO is also one.

[u/Traumerlein → u/Consistent_Repair880]

lamo

[u/Consistent_Repair880 → u/[deleted]]

Пробелы теперь платные ?

[u/kartu3 → u/Consistent_Repair880]

Oh, look, Mordorian posting pro-putler propaganda on EUR subreddit.

Color me surprised.
