Best Answer

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization remains based on the concept of deterrence to aggression against its member states. Containment is based on mutual defense creating overwhelming force to make any act of aggression upon it as an unacceptable loss or risk to any aggressor. The ultimate guarantor of containment comes through the deployment and threat of strategic nuclear weapons use.
