Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty provides for the possibility of joint consultations between NATO allies "whenever, in the opinion of any of them, the territorial integrity, political independence or security of any of the Parties is threatened".

Everyone will help like they helped with WW2. Just saying.

This feels intense. I always assumed Russia would cleverly test article 4 until everyone started to question if it was even a real policy.
Edit: I think everyone knew I meant article 5, but noting it just in case.
Definitely had no idea you meant article 5
I don't know my international defense pact articles well enough
I think we shouldn't expect too much smarts from someone like Putin. He's gotten to where he is through brutal violence and intimidation, not through any real cunning.
Maybe. But the Russians have always been better at psyops than us. It was true in the cold war and it's been true since their hybrid war over the last decade.
Putin is probably at his least clever now that anyone who can tell him nyet has been defenestrated. He's not a genius or anything, but he's smart enough to cause massive problems for everyone else.
