Anyone who is talking about this should first realize that a NATO member is trying to get territory from another member just because they think it’s better for their geopolitical situation, this will break NATO as an alliance because then Greece and Turkey will take it as a greenlight to take action against the disputed territories between themselves. Which will cause the collapse of NATO and who knows what Non-NATO countries will try to do.
This is not about MAGA bullshit it will cause a huge change and might even cause the WW3 to start instead of the proxy wars we’ve been seeing.
I’m saying this a person who doesn’t like NATO.
It will not break NATO. Since it is a defensive pact.
If the US attacks Greenland, every NATO member will jump to the defense of Greenland because they are the country being invaded. That is how the pact is written. Doesn’t matter if the invading country is NATO themselves or not.
The only thing this will cause in NATO is that the US will be kicked out.
This is wishful thinking. This will brake NATO or they will just shrug and move on. Europe is still to reliant on the US as a protective force. Maybe this will help them see that the time in which the US cared for anybody but them self belong to the past. Right now to many EU countries are clinging to world order that died with Trump 2.
Has NATO really prevented anything between Türkiye and Greece?
I thought there were explicit exceptions for the defense agreement in case the conflict is between member states, precisely because of Türkiye and Greece.
Edit: from what I can find, there is no explicit exceptions but it is generally understood that article 5 is only to be invoked for external aggression. No action was undertaken by NATO when Cyprus was invaded.

Well said, and it really puts it all into perspective. There are vast geopolitical consequences.
