Article 5 of NATO states: The heart of the North Atlantic Treaty, at least as it pertains to the military
aspects of the alliance, is Article 5. Article 5 reads:
The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of
them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack
against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an
armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of
individual or collective self-defence recognised by Article 51 of
the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties
so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with
the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the
use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the
North Atlantic area.
Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result
thereof shall immediately be reported to the Security Council.
Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has
taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security." Will you absolutely, without reservation, support Article 5 of NATO? I want a simple YES or NO response. No boiler plate answer - YES or NO.
