Wouldn't this invoke NATO against the UK and demand a lot of reparations?
I assume you mean Article 5, and no, yes, maybe, but probably no.
Article 5's requirement is that the members convene to discuss a response to an attack, not an obligation to attack.
Furthermore, this sounds more like an even dumber dumb Watergate, but with arguably, a moral justification i.e. covert burglary, maybe even armed robbery, for vaccines contracted to the UK.
Yes I meant article 5 but did not remember the number ๐๐. Thanks!
Article 5 has been invoked once, the US invoked it during 9/11. They asked for some extra air reconnaissance around the middle east, and basically to have allies be ready for joint action that never materialized. Article 5 is not an immediate declaration of war or anything.
I always thought ISAF was the NATO 5 action.
I must admit I didnโt really pay attention to the legalities back then though.
