The source doesn’t matter, it’s more about the example, and idea.

More bluntly, horrible people (like nazis) can go on to do good things in life. That’s okay.

On the other hand, posting the picture without a ton of context seems to reinforce the very thing you are worried about:

someone MIGHT get the impression there was something fishy going on at NATO from the get-go

When that doesn’t seem to be the case. Nazis, tankies, whatever populist group you can name operate on negative quick impressions to sow doubt and anger with institutions.
