Not well developed would be to our advantage if the casus foederis were in a grey area. (It's somewhat :lolsob: to note that Thucydides already distinguished between "stated reasons" and "real reasons" behind a conflict; remember "Remember the Maine!" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casus_belli#:~:text=Proschema,causes%20for%20fear%29%2e https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casus_belli#:~:text=Proschema,... ) EDIT: looks like there may not even be a need to be part of an existing mutual defence alliance; sending troops to take part in Operation Arctic Endurance might suffice for an Art 51 response to invasion? https://opil.ouplaw.com/display/10.1093/law:epil/9780199231690/law-9780199231690-e241#:~:text=The%20most%20obvious,objects%20of%20an%20armed%20attack https://opil.ouplaw.com/display/10.1093/law:epil/97801992316... 3(a) and 3(d) refer to: https://iilj.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/General-Assembly-Resolution-3314.pdf#page=2 https://iilj.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/General-Assembly...
