@FranekZak I believe it was resolved on the basis of the previous link, which makes it sound like it was invoked. However, many articles even timestamped later than that say poland was contemplating invoking article 4. Seems unclear to me.
The US says it was Ukraine missile defense, however that doesn't mean poland didn't invoke article 4
https://liveuamap.com/en/2022/16-november-warsaw-has-withdrawn-its-request-for-a-nato-article "Warsaw has withdrawn its request for a NATO Article 4 meeting over the explosions that killed two people last night, per officials. NATO ambassadors will discuss the situation at their (already-scheduled) 10 am meeting; Sec Gen Stoltenberg will brief around 12:30"
If this is accurate (I couldn't verify), sounds to me that Poland did make an Article 4 request, and then withdrew it. In which case YES resolution seems correct.
@jack I'm not sure if Poland every invoked Article 4. This source that you linked only goes to a tweet. This article only suggested that they reserved the right: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/16/world/europe/nato-article-4-poland-ukraine.html
@JeffHsu Yeah, it looks like it wasn't formally invoked so far. https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/topics_49187.htm and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Atlantic_Treaty#Article_4 says it can be formally invoked and that "Since the Alliance’s creation in 1949, Article 4 has been invoked seven times." and Feb 2022 was the most recent listed.
However, there was reporting beyond just a tweet, there's also the Reuters link below which certainly made it sound like article 4 was being invoked - https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/nato-meet-wednesday-request-poland-consultations-diplomats-2022-11-15/ "NATO ambassadors will meet on Wednesday at the request of Poland on basis of the alliance's Article 4". (This is why we need the ability to change resolutions.)
@LeonardoKroger Have market create say they mean invoke. This semantics is such a stain for manifold. Omg, it never ends.
