NATO & Invoking Article 5

COMMENT: Martin,

I need to admit, I’ve by no means learn NATO article 5 till this morning whereas studying your submit 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:

“…every of them, in train of the proper of particular person or collective self-defence…will help the Occasion or Events so attacked by taking…such motion as IT deems needed…”

Thus, every member nation is neither sure nor sworn to hitch into any assault, however solely sure to take no matter motion it feels needed.

For instance, a member nation may restrict its help to humanitarian help.  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 needed 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 right. Trump wouldn’t be sure 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 document, 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 begin his struggle, which was, I imagine, to overcome the Center East. The US pitched it in October 2001, and as this text quotes, they offered “clear and compelling” proof. All the pieces offered to justify this quest to overcome the Center East was a lie, as at all times. They’re making ready the exact same technique to overcome 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 broaden the federal government and line their pockets. They haven’t any regret for the individuals who die in these actions. These individuals who continuously push for struggle are Psychopaths and are categorized as folks with little or no conscience however can observe social conventions when it fits their wants. They’re much more harmful than a mere Sociopath who can’t really feel empathy and regret however possesses merely delinquent persona dysfunction (APD) moderately 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 belongings. They may invoke Article 5, and the principle nation NATO is pushing to be the attack-dog is Poland.
