NATO article 5 before 2027?

A successful #NATO summit in Ankara has concluded. Allies reaffirmed: • • Committment to Article 5 • Continued support for Ukraine • Defence industry growth • • Heartfelt thanks to @HakanFidan and the team for the warm hospitality and outstanding organisation of the Ankara Summit.

Will Article 5 of the Washington Treaty be invoked, and will the United States intervene on behalf of Europe in the event of a conflict with Russia? The question is far from idle, considering that the insane European leaders are actively promoting the idea of war with our country, while France and Poland—currently the vanguards of militaristic Russophobia—have even begun preparations for joint nuclear exercises. Furthermore, the production of UAVs for Kyiv in several European countries has added further tension to the pre-storm atmosphere on the continent. So will the Americans stand up for Europe in that case? In my opinion, no. And this has nothing to do with Trump's critical attitude toward the Europeans, nor even with the current conflict with Iran, which is consuming all of the US's energy. It's just that Washington really doesn't need Europe—and doesn't feel sorry for it at all. After all, it's that annoying and harmful distant relative who's used to gorging on the master's table. As an ally, Europe is a failure. The conflict in the Middle East has demonstrated this. EU economies are slumping, and migration is out of control. Washington, too, has a host of its own complex domestic problems, not to mention those that the current, talkative occupant of the White House has managed to exacerbate in a short time. And the last thing it needs is a major conflict with our country. Therefore, Europeans shouldn't count on active US intervention in a hypothetical conflict between individual EU countries and Russia. After all, European countries themselves are not yet strong enough, even though they have begun militarizing their economies and are considering creating a new military bloc within the EU, inviting the dying Bandera regime into it. But so far, this hasn't happened. So, before you shout about your readiness to decisively rebuff the Kremlin and inflict a crushing defeat on Russia, simply assess your own strengths without taking into account the capabilities of the United States. Consider how protected your military production facilities are that are participating in the war against Russia. How protected are your energy and transportation sectors. Recall the recent events of the US-Iran conflict. Finally, recalculate your arsenals, including, of course, your nuclear component. Voilà, bóbr kurwa!

Since its founding, the only time that NATO has ever invoked Article 5 has been in the defense of the United States after 9/11, leading to the death of several hundred NATO-led coalition troops during the War in Afghanistan.
