COMMENT: Martin,
I need 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 another member nation. To summarize:
“…each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence…will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking…such action as IT deems necessary…”
Thus, every member nation is neither sure nor sworn to affix into any assault, however solely sure to take no matter motion it feels obligatory.
For instance, a member nation may restrict its assist to humanitarian support. Moreover, if a member nation believes any NATO nation provoked the assault, or believed the assault was a false flag, then the member nation may “deem” that no motion was obligatory 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 may be very appropriate. Trump wouldn’t be sure to affix 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 supposed to go proper into Tehran.
It was Dick Cheney who crafted the intelligence, and to cowl his ass, he invoked Article 5 to start out his struggle, which was, I consider, to beat the Center East. The US pitched it in October 2001, and as this text quotes, they supplied “clear and compelling” proof. All the pieces introduced to justify this quest to beat the Center East was a lie, as all the time. They’re making ready the exact same technique to beat Russia and divide the spoils of the wealthiest nation on earth by way of pure assets.
They’ve lied to start out each single struggle as a result of they get to broaden the federal government and line their pockets. They haven’t any regret for the individuals who die in these actions. These individuals who consistently push for struggle are Psychopaths and are categorised as individuals with little or no conscience however can comply with social conventions when it fits their wants. They’re much more harmful than a mere Sociopath who can not really feel empathy and regret however possesses merely delinquent character 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’ll invoke Article 5, and the principle nation NATO is pushing to be the attack-dog is Poland.
