- tommiegannert 5y agoThe fear would be that if a NATO country is seen becoming active against Russia, it could trigger sympathy for Russia from semi-allies, or make Putin escalate. (I agree it's a very unfortunate headline.)
- dragonwriter 5y agoNATO is only obligated to get involved in defensive wars (and then, only for attacks in certain geographic areas.) That doesn't prevent NATO action in other circumstances (likely, resulting from Art. 4 consultations rather than Art. 5.)
