Sweden has formally joined NATO as the 32nd member of the transatlantic military alliance, ending decades of post-World War II neutrality and centuries of broader non-alignment.
But they also influence NATO organizations through various requirements of joining the NATO so that in the practice, they are involved. NATO as an organization has participated in mmultiple invasitions around the World, it is on the Wikipedia page. All of their military involvements where in non-NATO countries. Nobody ever attacked a NATO country, they never did a defensive war.

I never said NATO is not effective defensive strategy for the government, just that it is effective offensive strategy as well.
However this only applies to the government, not the people. Troops are sent to die in these offensive wars, while otherwise they would be safe at home.
Don’t spin this as an opposite claim that all non-NATO countries end up in a war. Some of the countries now in NATO where invaded by NATO first and then forced to join.
That is like saying surrendering is safer then being nutral, bacause they can’t attack you if you are already surrendered.

Great success then.
Only non-Nato countries have to fight defensive wars. Thanks for convincing me of NATOs effectiveness

No country has ever been forced to join NATO. a country has to apply to join and a defensive alliance only works if all members are willing
