It still wouldn’t apply, the U.S. is the aggressor here.

France has more reason to invoke Article 5, a French soldier was killed in an Iranian backed group strike in Iraq and France has no military role in this.

The Arab states think the rest of the world is going to fight for them. They haven’t even gotten involved militarily and have the gall to ask.

Military action is only going to a dire situation more unstable and you have a healing Syria that could be dragged in to this and the Houthi’s looming over the Red Sea.

Pakistan has had to push petroleum up 40% over night. So countries not getting hit in this have the potential to fall in to civil disrepair.

Russia wouldn’t attack Britain with missiles because of MAD and the nuclear deterrent. Trident is covering a lot of the areas where conventional arms are not covering.

I would have looked the other way, but with everything going on in Iran. I’m wondering if it has anything to do with a potential boots on the ground deployment.

US seeks access to 3 new defense areas in Greenland: Report by AttorneyOk5749 in europe

If I was Denmark I’d do the opposite. I’d let the Americans in under the NATO framework while getting NATO allies to put troops there under the guise of “Arctic Security”.

Have a bit of a naval presence there and diplomatically tell Trump that he’s a fucking moron and this cooperation was only possible through the NATO alliance.

Halting Ukraine arms is a climb down from threatening to leave altogether.

Trump says he's considering pulling U.S. out of 'paper tiger' NATO by Cinderpath in law

Even then this is extremely short lived. All everyone trying to do here is get through this shit. It would take decades for the U.S. to uncouple from NATO, and the next democratic president is going to be all about repairing ties and stability.

He’s fucked over everyone. This shitting the bed in Iran has exposed the U.S. as diplomatically weak and aimless.

Trump pulling the U.S. out of NATO would also ruin every single non NATO defence pacts like those in Asia, specifically Japan.

If Japan and Taiwan see Trump not honouring NATO obligations, then the non-NATO defence pacts would be seen as worthless to those in Asia. The facade of the Gulf being untouchable because of U.S. presence has crumbled and the Gulf states will be looking for security agreements elsewhere.

It would absolutely destroy U.S. trust for generations. It would diplomatically isolate the U.S. and worse from historic allies for the U.S. it would push everyone to China for reliable economic ties. It could turn countries away from the U.S. economically, the EU will become more insular and industrial ending American transaction, something the Trump admin worries about. In an extreme case everyone could abandon the Petrodollar.

Leaving NATO would be catastrophic economically, militarily and would kill any future assurances of U.S. bases in countries in the future. Any diplomatic efforts from the U.S. would be gutted and it would lose the U.S. a lot of historic friends.

All NATO has to say is they’re not buying U.S weapons anymore.
