I don't think this quote is the right one for american "war strategist". I don't seem to remeber where this victory was won since 2nd world war. Vietnam, Iraq, Afganistan maybe?

Well there were several crises with Nato member states during history and Nato did not intervene and it should have. So don't talk about world peace and everything else and how Nato is preserving it. Nato will help no member state, it is an outlived organization in the hand of few (probably one) states, serving their interest and nothing else. In the last 20 years Nato didn't do anything relevant to preserve world peace...so as I said it should be abolished. But Nato is indirectly supporting USA in it's aims towards Russia, that are, well making a lot of dispute and tensions not just between these to countries but between Russia and european countries as well. If this is your idea of Nato and preserving peace...well then I am not surprised...
