What a dumbass...

Each individual member determines how it will contribute and will consult with the other members, bearing in mind that the ultimate aim is to "to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area".

By invoking Article 5, NATO members have shown their solidarity toward the United States and condemned, in the strongest possible way, the terrorist attacks against the United States on 11 September.

Listen moron I'm only going to say this once.

Article 5 WAS put into the NATO Alliance incase the USSR (that was Russia incase your 22) attacked any of the European Allies.


However, it was only envoked once. That was after Sept 11th 2001.

The US had already bankrupted the USSR. So it was never envoked because the USSR never attacked any of our allies.

But the FACT remains that it was put into the NATO treaty as a protection clause.

Go get yourself a nickle and buy yourself a fucking clue!
