    Yep, linking the Wikipedia page for Adolf Heusinger can be helpful. At the same time, liberals tend to compartmentalize that to the past and focus instead on the present, like history is a series of snapshots. This is the limit of metaphysical analysis at the heart of liberalism. The entrypoint should often instead be how NATO is actively bad today. Then you can connect it historically as supporting evidence, and use this to develop rudimentary historical materialist analysis.
