Tbf NATO accomplished what it set out to do, only that was nearly 30 years ago
However it does help keep security, 1, by having an immense amount of alliance that say an attack on one is an attack on all and 2, by subsidising the bloodthirsty Europeans so they don't have appreciable armies. A question is after several generations, has their bloodlust been extinguished? Perhaps it's time to let them be grown ups and provide for their own defense
NATO shouldn't be doing what is in fact offensive campaigns like in Libya. It's a block to stop empires.
