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.

  • In assessing anything that Trump does you have to think, 'What is in it for Trump personally"? Like Boris Johnson, Trump has only one interest, himself. Though he talks about God a lot, he has no interest in God, though he talks about America, he has no interest in America, except when he sees the country as an extension of his own ego. He uses 'weaponised uncertainty' constantly to get what he wants. That is what he is doing now. Perhaps he wants to build military bases in Greenland, by threatening invasion, he is not seriously intent on invasion, but thinks he can leverage concessions from Denmark by saying it is on his mind. Invading Canada is a non starter, imagine US troops being sniped at by every Canadian with a rifle. The Canadian national identity is based on 'not being American', and was forged in their successful defence against an invasion by America in the War of 1812. Besides the American public are sick of foreign interventions, Iraq and Afghanistan were both costly in American lives and achieved little and nothing, respectively.
