Mar 1, 2022 at 20:49 comment added Italian Philosopher Come to think of it, I wonder if that deems necessary clause was added as a result of WW1, where blindly following the dictates of the alliance framework was what launched the war from a fairly minor incident in a backwater (Franz Ferdinand getting killed in domestic terrorism).

Mar 1, 2022 at 20:42 comment added Italian Philosopher Welcome aboard. As you can guess the current situation has everyone a bit on edge and downvotes tend to fly about quickly. We've had a number of questions about Article 5 in the past - such as what happens when one NATO member attacks another - though I don't know if your specific one was covered. Maybe adding that your question is strictly unrelated to current affairs would be helpful.
Mar 1, 2022 at 20:37 comment added colelewis Hello, I appreciate your answer! It was a hypothetical question that had popped into my head given the circumstances, I hadn't meant anything by it other than just curiosity. The situation I was thinking of would be if a nation attempted to use NATO's collective defense as a weapon and it was abundantly clear to the world that doing so was their aim.
