It feels like it’s very, very risky territory for these activities to be “occurring” in a NATO country. I’m sure everyone else is thinking the same thing, but at what point does Article 5 get invoked?

  what exactly do you think is going to happen if article 5 gets invoked? did America's current Special Military Operation not make it clear that missiles alone don't win wars, and that there's fuck all you can do when the other side yeets their missiles at you in return?
  also, a friendly reminder that all willing parties are free to go fight Russia right now. <a href="https://ildu.mil.gov.ua/" rel="nofollow">https://ildu.mil.gov.ua/

    Neither Putin nor his associates are religious fanatics happy to die for their cause, they're just money-loving strongmen. If faced with real danger they'd much rather do whatever they could to avoid dying, not risk being martyred.

    so in your educated opinion Putin will do nothing when NATO attacks Russia directly?
