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?

  That’s exactly the issue. If Putin provokes a measured reaction it’s a win, if NATO does nothing it’s also a win
  The defender is fundamentally at a disadvantage with all or nothing clauses like article 5

    Every hybrid attack will increase spending towards Ukraine.

    Or reduce spending because countries feel the need to station more defences on their own borders
