The T in N.A.T.O., page 1

we all heard of NATO. ………………officially THEY claim its means: North Atlantic Treaty Organisation……………………lets examine that sentence.

lets ……….. down the rabbit hole we go

my english treacher is a bit of conspiracy theorist.
he always comes up with unsual theories behind government activities.

Maybe he should teach you English , instead of filling your head with idiocy .

I do not mean to be rude , and I normally avoid criticism of others English , as mine is usually appalling . But as your have invoked your English teacher as an authority for this argument – I am compelled to note that your English is diabolical

He has not done a very good job teaching you English , has he ?

just think about that for a minute: why say "Treaty Organisation"

because it is the organization formed to uphold the treaty – maybe your “ English teacher “ should go back to school for logic 101 .

it is really quite basic English – and so it beggars belief that an “ English teacher “ is having such difficulty understanding it .

treay is a treaty. it is not an organisation

At last , some sense , even though this glimmer of rational thought contradicts your other “ arguments “

That is why it is the “treaty organization” : i.e. an organisation to uphold the treaty

. a treaty establishes an organisation.

No it does not – a treaty establishes an agreement , which its signatories pledge to abide by and uphold

There are many treaties which did not spawn organizations – the “ treaty of Tripoli “ springs to mind .

Also treaties that do foster the formation of organizations , i.e. the “ treaty of Rome “ , which was the bedrock of the EEC are not required to be linked to the treaty name

so, why not say North Atlanic Defence treaty,

Because the north Atlantic treaty has elements other than defence – have you actually read it ???

North Atlantic Treaty,

The north Atlantic treaty exists too – it is the foundation agreement – the north Atlantic treaty is both the spirit of the agreement , and the printed document .

The text of the north Atlantic treaty is available online – try reading it

Then attempt to find the text of “ NATO “ – you cannot have a text of an organization – because an organisation is comprised of entities , a treaty is comprised of statements and clauses .

Is this clear to you yet ?

North Atlantic Organisation?

Because there is only one “ north Atlantic “ A north Atlantic orgaisiation would have to comprise multiple “ north Atlantics “

Or it would if we follow the “ logic “ that you have used

why must it be North Atlantic "Treaty" Organisation.

Why not ??

Because it makes perfect sense to every one else , despite the illogical delusions of you and your “ English teacher “

the name doesnt make sense. there is something wrong with the sentence.

The name makes perfect sense , and there is nothing wrong with it

yes ok we know there was a signiture there. so what. why tell us about it?

What ?? where does it mention a signature ??? NATO acronym tells rational people that it is the organisation founded to uphold the north atlantic treaty

It is quite simple .

would it not have been better to simply say NADO - North Atlantic Defence Organisation?

No , because a north Atlantic defence organization – would if we are nit picking so what exactly ??

As you are being picky – NADO would have a single purpose :

Defend the north Atlantic …What about the countries surrounding it ??? Screw them – the ocean is safe ………… HUSSAR :p

once have think about it, we see that that "T" does not really stand for "Treaty".

Your “ logic “ is so erroneous it hurts my head

If your “ English teacher “ put you up to this , I seriously question his competence to teach English
