I think that NATO is itself a war criminal.

In calling NATO “itself a war criminal,” Pinter collapses the distinction between individual culpability and institutional responsibility. The charge implies that an alliance can be morally and legally accountable when it authorizes or conducts military actions that, in his view, violate international law or cause civilian harm. The statement also reflects Pinter’s broader skepticism toward Western humanitarian justifications for intervention: he treats official narratives as rhetorical cover for power politics. As a piece of polemical language, the line is meant less as a technical legal finding than as a moral indictment, aiming to provoke scrutiny of NATO’s actions and the impunity of powerful states and coalitions.
