The United States will not deploy the THAAD medium-range missile interceptor system near Ukraine to shoot down Russian missiles and drones, as it does for Israel, because the Russian-Ukrainian war and the war in the Middle East are different.
Ukraine has recieved several anti missile systems from the US, but do not man them as in Isreal. I suppose if US Troops were killed by the Russians in an attack, then all kinds of escalating shit would happen.
What kind if escalation does putin have though? Hes bombing civilians, schools and hospitals. And the nUcLeAr saber rattling has been used so much the saber is all dull.
Article 5 requires co-defense an attack occurs in the territory of NATO nations (or places occupied by members when NATO was created). It doesn’t cover US forces getting put in harms way and attacked in a non-member country. It doesn’t even troops getting attacked in Hawaii.

But he’s not bombing US hospitals. Read NATO, Article 5

Which is the reason NATO joined the US is Afghanistan
That’s not how article 5 works.
Yes, it does.
I see you can’t support your own statement.
But escalating with Iran is fine I guess?
Iran would be destroyed by US Airpower. They know it.
And then what? Iraq got destroyed by air power, Afghanistan got destroyed by air power. Now both countries are hot beds of terrorism and instability.
Yeah, but the Taliban or Iraq are not able to mass manufacture drones to sell to Russia.
No, Afghanistan was not about air power. Iran has a lot to lose and could lose it very easily.
And they’re not a nuclear power. Like, pointedly not. We made real sure of that.
