Trump's excuse for invading Greenland is debunked by NATO Article 5

[IM2]

It's time to shut down this nonsense being argued here by those who want Trump to invade Greenland. The excuse is that we must have Greenland in order to protect ourselves from Russia and China. That excuse is a bunch of malarkey. Why?

Collective defence and Article 5​

Collective defence is NATO’s most fundamental principle. Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty states that an armed attack against one NATO member shall be considered an attack against them all. Since 1949, this unwavering pledge has bound together a group of like-minded countries from Europe and North America, which have committed themselves to protecting each other in a spirit of solidarity.

• Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty states that an armed attack against one NATO member shall be considered an attack against all members, and triggers an obligation for each member to come to its assistance.
• This assistance may or may not involve the use of armed force, and can include any action that Allies deem necessary to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.
• NATO’s Article 5 is consistent with Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, which recognises that a state that is the victim of an armed attack has the inherent right to individual or collective self-defence, and may request others to come to its assistance. Within the NATO context, Article 5 translates this right of self-defence into a mutual assistance obligation.
• NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in its history after the 9/11 terrorist attacks against the United States in 2001.
• While Article 5 itself has been applied only once, it underpins all of NATO’s broader activities in the field of deterrence and defence, including the regular conduct of military exercises and the deployment of NATO’s standing military forces.
• NATO takes a 360-degree approach to collective defence, protecting against all threats from all directions.

Collective defence and Article 5

On 4 April 1949, 12 countries from Europe and North America came together in Washington, D.C. to sign the North Atlantic Treaty. NATO’s founding treaty is not long – only 14 articles, just over 1,000 words – and its core purpose is clear and simple: a joint pledge by each country to assist the...

That's a great one! I never thought about that. Generalissimo Donald Trump.

IM2 still hasn't recovered from slavery.

 

[Hellbilly]

We certainly don’t want to have Russia as a neighbor would we?

Never. TDS is terminal.

That he never experienced.

Why do you get down on your knees and engage in adoration of Draft Dodger and Peophile?

Zinc is not the one with TDS. You are.

This is how Dotard is making European nations feel about us.

And yet they still beg for our money. **** Europe. They ain’t what they used to be.

Sounds like they have Europe well in hand. Time to leave NATO. Good luck, don't expect us to save them AGAIN. This time they can learn Russian or Arabic as they see fit.

 

[Hellbilly]

If the EU invaded the U.S. and started mass murdering Republican voters the Democrats and the left would cheer.

I definitely would

Europe. Isn't that the place where the US desperately wants to sell LPG and such like?

You are editorializing by use of the word “desperate”. Your assertion is simplistic and not true.

It's almost as though the US hasn't frantically been building the infrastructure to replace Europe's purchasing of Russian gas.

I must be mistaken, eh?

Obviously the US doesn't want to sell anything to the world. Maybe if China offers enough the US may deign to sell it some soy beans. Where US farmers aren't at all desperate.
