      We realize that, but that won’t stop Trump from saying it. You think Trump cares if his words are inaccurate or imprecise? The dude lies every single day about shit.

      Yes but even though we aren’t obligated by article 5, almost all NATO countries traditionally help USA in their stupid wars because we are were allies.
      But this time, all allies were very quick to declare the war illegal, which makes it illegal for most countries to help USA because they have laws that forbid participation in illegal wars.
