It really doesnt help his case that one of the few (perhaps the only?) time that NATO article 5 was triggered was during 9/11 and re:afghanistan (which again its p lol)
Not really, the government of Afghanistan didn’t attack the USA, that was bin Laden and the Afghans offered to hand him over via a third party nation, he was eventually found (according to their own account) in Pakistan and not Afghanistan. And that’s not even getting into the weeds of how the cia financed at least two of the highjackers, norad failed to intercept planed that deviated from their flight paths or the project for a new amerikkkan century.
oh, most definitely, but G.W. Bush did trigger article 5 and there were meetings about it. They even concluded that indeed a foreign enemy had attacked sovereign soil of the U.S.
