So does that mean the United States is not the only country to ever invoke Article 5?


The UK was in Afghanistan before us and we technically assisted them and it wasn’t under article 5. They’ve been there forever though

So we have helped other countries outside of article 5? Again we don’t understand what you’re wanting to discuss specifically.

Post it my guy. The world is your oyster.

Attacking Iraq and Afghanistan because of 9/11 is like attacking Tajikistan because of Pearl Harbor.

It’s a factual statement.

70 downvotes and 3 pages in 30 minutes

Somehow, a fact is very controversial

many of those countries would not exist if the us hadn't spilled a lot of blood in ww2

Germany never had any chance whatsoever of winning World War 2 in Europe.

They’d never have subjugated the UK, and the Soviets were always going to steamroll them—just a matter of when.

Not discounting our contribution at all, but the only difference would be that the Iron Curtain could have been at the Rhine/Scheldt instead of where it ended up.

NATO urged the US to help with Ukraine and Ukraine isn't even a member. Its not literally invokimg Article 5...but wouldnt we all say it's the same thing?

The point is all of you. This thread could have died with no/few replies, but it didn’t. You’re all mad as frick.

Time for some introspection for trumpers.
