Which would be a disaster, because it would be an intra-NATO military conflict, and while intra-NATO military alliances exist, they are untested and it's hard to imagine another NATO state backing US military action in the Netherlands. The Netherlands would invoke Article 5 and request military assistance from other NATO members against the US.
- missedthecue 3y agoIsn't there intra NATO conflict between Turkey and Greece?
- favorited 3y agoYes, and several NATO states have separate military alliances with Greece at this point, but luckily neither side has ever invoked Article 5...

- YeGoblynQueenne 3y agoRight, so the other great military powers in NATO, like France and the UK will stand up to the US to protect the Netherlands? Sounds more like something that would happen in a game of Risk than in the real world, to be honest.
