    Turkey is a NATO member and their armed forces are using NATO equipment. If Israel attacks Turkey that would trigger article 5 of NATO which would force all of the countries bound by it to declare war on Israel. If they refuse to do so then NATO wouldn’t be worth the paper it’s written on.

      Turkey wouldn’t need any help from NATO to take care of the Zionist military. And if they’d get even the slightest help, then it’d be over even quicker.

      Germany for one would be bound by its paraconstitutional Staatsräson to refuse, which would end NATO and give Putin his old empire back on a silver platter.

      Nowhere does article 5 state you need to declare war, just to help in a way. Could just be sending money or helmets
