Is he trying to look stupid?
What role would a defensive pact play in this war?
How do you figure any point is being made when discussing a situation that has literally nothing to do with NATO?
Okay, even if that's an accurate statement of facts, how does that have anything to do with NATO?
You might as well be saying that ketchup doesn't taste anything like apples, and is therefore worthless.
Okay, look, if you actually care about any of these things that you're saying, would you not want to make sure that the foundation of your argument is actually solid?
Be better.
Right, once again you sidestep the issue that a North Atlantic defensive pact has nothing at all to do with an offensive war in the Middle East.
Every argument you've made about the worth of NATO would be stronger if it wasn't attached to a situation that has nothing to do with NATO.
