Thanks.

“NATO guaranteed collective security because all of the member states agreed to defend one another against an attack by a third party. Article 5 of the treaty requires every member nation to come to the aid of any one of them if it is attacked. That article has been invoked only once: after the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States, after which NATO-led troops went to Afghanistan.”

And Trump wants to pull out of NATO…

yeah but nobody believes in that obsolete way of thinking these days, the correct interpretation is that a country is a dangerous enemy if they might retaliate when we strike them first, so we should strike them in self defence first
