resolves YES if the USA formally files whatever legal and diplomatic paperwork necessary to formally leave the defensive union. this will not resolve NO for an announcement of intention.
1,000@strutheo What does it mean to "refuse Article 5"? Articla 5 is more like "each NATO member can react as it deems appropiate".
And is the clarification below regarding Article 4 part of the criteria?
@strutheo respectfully that a bit silly, paperwork or not, membership is nothing without intention to honour article 5. The moment the US make it clear they will not respond NATO is dead
@Odoacre i sort of agree re: enforcement being key, but i cant really trust anything trump says at this point , so we kind of need an action to tie the resolution to
@strutheo ok that's fair, but suppose he refuses a summons for article 4, that's an action. Would it be enough?
