What happens if one NATO member attacks anohter?

TheCatWoman

As the title says what happens if one NATO member attacks another? WIth Trump threatening Denmark over Greenland and Panama over the canal, what would and should other NATO members do? Personally I think they could kick America out of the alliance, Trump is threatening Canada too, albeit with serious economic sanctions, but is this any less an act of war than a military option? What does he want Canada for anyway?

People think it's all just noise and that he won't do any of these things once in office, I'm not sure I believe that, I think there's every chance he will.

  • I’ve been really stressed out by this.

    I can’t believe the US media have been pandering to this instead of saying it’s insane. I very much hope there are serious people left in the US figuring out how to remove Trump but I have my doubts.

    Would US military really accept an order to attack an ally?

    If they attempted to tariff Denmark to coerce Denmark to handing over territory (against the wishes of its inhabitants) then all hell would break out - an EU / US tariff war and god knows what else.

    You’ll note that Musk and Trump are both attacking US allies, not Russia or China. And Trump is saying nothing about the promise he was elected on - reducing prices.

    I am absolutely disgusted with the USA right now. Putin and Xi must be laughing.

    I completely agree with you A. It's not just Trump either but the people around him like Elon Musk, attacking Jess Phillips of all people and calling a a genocide rape appologist! After all that woman has done to try and change the way victims of sexual violence are treated, for years and years! She's a hero and a legend! There was a brilliant interview with her on Newsnight last night, as she said, have her detractors ever driven across country through the night to rescue a woman, who's escaped from a sex gang?

    I'm not sure we need yet another enquiry when the recomendations from the last one haven't been enacted yet. Maybe later when the recomendations have passed into law, to see if there's more that needs doing. But I think the biggest change needed is the attitudes of police and council services. When a 12 year old girl goes to a police station and says she's been raped and gets told to go away and come back when sober, why did no one think to ask why was a 12 year old drunk, who gave her alcohol and where?

    I think American prices will rise because nobody will want to do business with them, there will be tit for tat tariffs and for what?
