COMMENT: Martin,
I have to admit, I’ve by no means learn NATO article 5 till this morning whereas studying your publish from yesterday.
Wanting on the precise wording, it appears to me that the entire article revolves round one little phrase, specifically “it”. On this case, it refers to every NATO member nation within the case of an assault on some other member nation. To summarize:
“…every of them, in train of the precise of particular person or collective self-defence…will help the Get together or Events so attacked by taking…such motion as IT deems vital…”
Thus, every member nation is neither certain nor sworn to hitch into any assault, however solely certain to take no matter motion it feels vital.
For instance, a member nation might restrict its help to humanitarian assist. Moreover, if a member nation believes any NATO nation provoked the assault, or believed the assault was a false flag, then the member nation might “deem” that no motion was vital in any respect besides to debate phrases of peace.
You definitely have extra expertise within the regulation, however am I mistaken right here?

REPLY: That could be very appropriate. Trump wouldn’t be certain to hitch WWIII. That’s the reason they’re scheming to attempt to delay his inauguration to allow them to invoke Article 5. Only for the file, the final time Article 5 was invoked was 911 to justify invading Iraq, which had nothing to do with 911 and by no means had weapons of mass destruction. It was Dick Cheney who schemed to invade Iraq, after which they meant to go proper into Tehran.
It was Dick Cheney who crafted the intelligence, and to cowl his ass, he invoked Article 5 to begin his struggle, which was, I imagine, to beat the Center East. The US pitched it in October 2001, and as this text quotes, they supplied “clear and compelling” proof. Every part offered to justify this quest to beat the Center East was a lie, as all the time. They’re getting ready the exact same technique to beat Russia and divide the spoils of the wealthiest nation on earth when it comes to pure assets.
They’ve lied to begin each single struggle as a result of they get to develop the federal government and line their pockets. They don’t have any regret for the individuals who die in these actions. These individuals who always push for struggle are Psychopaths and are categorized as folks with little or no conscience however can comply with social conventions when it fits their wants. They’re way more harmful than a mere Sociopath who can not really feel empathy and regret however possesses merely delinquent persona dysfunction (APD) fairly than a deliberate and conniving Psychopath.
Right here is Lyndsey Grachm for as soon as telling the reality. This isn’t about democracy, and no person cares if any Ukrainians stay. That is about strip-ming Russian property. They may invoke Article 5, and the primary nation NATO is pushing to be the attack-dog is Poland.
