nahuse , to World News in Ukraine war: We have no Plan B if Ukraine falls, Estonian PM says

“will assist such Party or Parties” comes right before that, though. Supporting an attacked treaty member is not optional.

And the clause which follows your quotes takes as granted that action has occurred, since it specifically states an intended result is a return to stability in North America or Europe. The action it deems necessary is predicated on the fact that it’s responding.

The way you are interpreting this quote is taken out of its context, which is not how the law works.

In any case, both of these arguments are technically valid, and it comes down to a whole lot of other factors, including political will, to enforce a response among members.

However it’s not ambiguous that an attack on a member of NATO will have a joint response, and a member neglecting to undertake such action would not have a valid legal argument for its inaction.

Edit: made a sentence real English instead of gibberish.

nahuse , to World News in Ukraine war: We have no Plan B if Ukraine falls, Estonian PM says

This is true, but it still makes some kind of action necessary, even if it’s not necessarily direct military action.

It’s not iron clad, but nor is it voluntary as the person I responded to made it seem to be.

nahuse , to World News in Ukraine war: We have no Plan B if Ukraine falls, Estonian PM says

That’s not true, the language is pretty clear:

“Article 5

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.”

It’s not an option to respond to an attack on one, it’s mandatory according to the text of the treaty.

nahuse , to Technology in Key misinformation “superspreaders” on Twitter: Older women

That specific email was when I knew my mom was irrevocably radicalized.

She wasn’t, and still isn’t, religious. But she was fucking convinced that Obama was literally the antichrist.

nahuse , to Ukraine in Destruction of a Russian "Strela-10" short-range air defense system in the Donetsk region by the 10th Mountain Assault Brigade.

Between this and the S-400 that was destroyed by ATACMS after sending off like 6 missiles, I don’t think Russian air defense is that good.

Then again I’m not a military analyst, so what the fuck do I know?

But I do remember another drone POV where something comes from a treeline and shoots it down. I think that one was a Russian drone being shot down by a Ukrainian system, though.

nahuse , to World News in Pentagon Opens Ammunition Factory to Keep Arms Flowing to Ukraine

I don’t think anybody ever really withheld information about how defense contracting works. It’s not a NYT thing.

It’s a big part of the way the current US Presidential administration has been talking about the Ukraine arms funding: that it will mostly be spent here, manufacturing things for war.

Edit: changed one word.

nahuse , to Nostalgia in LAN party from 2003

And they’re all a woman.

nahuse , to Ukraine in A Bradley IFV, under fire, evacuates the crew of another damaged Bradley near Ocheretino, Donetsk region.

It seems like it takes a hit of some kind to the turret just before it starts to move off, and then the amount of artillery landing right around it. Absolutely insane.

nahuse , to News in Trump Pressures Republicans to Pass a Law to Keep Him Out of Jail Forever

I think it’s important to consider just how… ickily inviolable most (if not all) of the right wing feels about the second amendment. I don’t think this line of logic would carry much weight with that crowd.

But I agree with what you’re saying. We need much more stringent controls on who is eligible for office.

nahuse , (edited ) to politics in Germany: We will execute ICC warrant against Netanyahu

This is kinda huge. Germany is one of Israel’s most ardent supporters. It’s really great to see such a clear and concise answer that confirms a commitment to international rule of law over international politics.

Edit: I hope I did not speak too soon, as this seems like relatively positive news. However I am having a hard time finding the original Politico source that this link refers to. I am also unaware of this source’s integrity. Does anybody else have another source; or the original Politico source that is referred to in this article?

Second edit: apparently this is coming from the Twitter/xitter of politico. I don’t have one of those, so I can’t personally verify the veracity of this statement, but it does seem as if Politico (Peter Wilke (@peterjwilke)) reported this.
[I put the name and handle in here for others who may be interested in digging a bit more than me before this is more widely reported]

nahuse , to Map Enthusiasts in True continent sizes

Fair enough.

nahuse , to Ukraine in Russian sources confirm Tsiklon Karakurt-class missile ship was sunk by US-supplied ATACMS missiles

Yikes.

nahuse , to Ukraine in Russian sources confirm Tsiklon Karakurt-class missile ship was sunk by US-supplied ATACMS missiles

I don’t think we need to resort to racist jokes about Poles, do we?

nahuse , to Map Enthusiasts in True continent sizes

I’m assuming the poster doesn’t speak English as a first language, so I’m hopeful it was a more innocent question than the racist dog whistle it seems like at first glance.

I can see why one might be curious about the economic comparisons between different geographic spaces with vast sizes, even though it’s almost impossible to really answer.

nahuse , to Map Enthusiasts in True continent sizes

Some of the fastest growing economies are in Africa. Some analysts view it as having the potential to be a core of productivity not too far in the future, especially given its demographic and natural resources.

But it’s a very diverse place, being a continent with many countries, so answering your question is very difficult. Can you be any more specific?
