NATO doesn’t have any obligation to “help” break down civilian protests by sending out paratroopers from one of its members to another member state so no it’s not similar.
NATO not only has this obligation, with Gladio it was active in violently breaking down civilian protests in Italy.
This was actually revealed by the center-right government in Italy in 1990, because they were more scared of the US/NATO involvement in Italian domestic affairs, then their own left leaning working class.
Don’t you think that an global intelligence operation is a bit different than officially asking for foreign military intervention in your own country against civilians?
