Which makes a lot of sense. If you could wait until you need backup to join, you’d just never join until you need it. No country wants to get sucked into someone else’s war.
At least, that’s the mentality. The truth is, no war is “someone else’s war”. We’re all in this together globally, and oppression anywhere is a threat to everywhere.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this was among the topics discussed during the recent meeting between Trump and Putin. I expect there is already a plan and timeframe.
Sales talk. With Ukraine (and other parts of Europe) being sold to Putin. I guess that’s why Leavitt looked ashen afterwards. Because she understands the consequences of that deal.
There is no such rule. The rule is everyone else already in has to agree to you joining. Practically most people don’t want to go to war and so nobody will agree, but there is no rule stating they can’t agree.
Basically the rules are, you can’t be in a fight already if you want to join.

Who knows, maybe NATO’ll update to the modern era after this. Maybe.
I don’t think the NATO will exist for much longer. I expect the US withdrawing soon, causing a chain reaction.
It’s a race to the salted Earth bottom, for sure.

Discussed? That’s generous.

Probably not, at least not while conservatives hold power in allied countries.
FTFY

An unwritten rule, then.
Not anymore, you wrote it down
pulls off monster mask it was me, NATO all along!
IIRC, there’s also a sort of anti-parasite scan, naturally. If you’ve ever experienced bedbugs, you’ll know the value in that. Deeply.
