    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.

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

            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?
