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.

  • Most of it is exaggerated. It's like the quote, from a 1962 John Wayne film, "When the Legend is true - Print the Legend!"

    The Media just wants to hyperbole EVERYTHING. As if we're all on an Aeroplane crash-landing. (AAAAGH! WE'RE GONNA DIE!!!!!) The mud on the wall no longer sticks.

    Our only threat comes from the TV.

    I basically agree Desmond, it’s been a useful distraction from his court sentencing and his lack of a plan to reduce prices.

    But from what I can see online, he has really frightened the people of Denmark, disgusted the people of Canada and is undermining political, economic and security alliances that have lasted for several decades.

    He may just be doing his usual bullying, but there will be real consequences.

    You are quite right.

    If you look back when he has been in the spotlight for fairly major negative things (rather often is seems) then when he is approaching a day when there will be a lot of focus on his wrongdoings then he will say some of the most outrageous stuff in order to make a media frenzy about it and distract from the bad news coming out.

    The press know this - there have been plenty of articles covering the technique - but they like to create a press frenzy as it gets views for their articles.

    Funny how it isn't fake press when it is doing his bidding.
