    A month ago, Colombia’s first left-wing President Gustavo Petro dismayed many of his supporters by committing to strengthen Colombia’s cooperation with NATO in areas such as climate change, human rights, integrity building and cyber defence

    Not just military.

      What would it even mean to co-operate with NATO on

      climate change, human rights, integrity building and cyber defence[?]

      NATO is only concerned with one of these things. Co-operation in this respect can only mean exacerbating climate change, ignoring human rights, and I don’t even know what it might mean for one of the most violent military alliances in history to build integrity.

      Edit: missing question mark added.

          I stand corrected. I still don’t think they plan to do anything about climate change. Not unless they’re forced by public pressure. The plan is more to protect the capitalist class from the destruction of climate change.

          They can work on climate change without NATO but with civilian organizations, if you involve NATO - it is military.
