@rjohnston@mstdn.ca @johnefrancis@cosocial.ca NATO article 5 applies only to attacks on the territory of the merger countries themselves. Attacks on members' military excursions into other countries' territories aren't covered - otherwise a NATO country could invade a peaceful neighbour, and then when that neighbour defends itself, call on the rest of the alliance for help invading.

@dragonfrog@mastodon.sdf.org @johnefrancis@cosocial.ca Does it not cover naval vessels in the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean? Looking at recent history, Israel would attack in international waters.
