I don’t think Article 5 applies if the NATO country attacks a non NATO country.US and UK Naval Forces are in the Mediterranean.
What's the SOP if Turkey gets itchy with Israel tries something stupid and Israel responds?
Are US/UK back channels to the Turks saying, "Calm down. Don't start something you can't stop?"
Are US back channels to the Israelis saying, "Come on. You know it's just sabre rattling?"
The Israelis are out of their give a $#*s.
Are the Turks playing Article 5?
Do the Turks care?
Does NATO care?
Look how many countries the US has attacked with NATO not giving a $))t.
btw The US is the only country to invoke ART 5
