I'm wondering if this argument is just for show, orif they are planning to call Article 5.

Classic imperialism move. Rome invented it 25 centuries ago.

That would be rich, after threatening and insulting their allies

Hammer harder, maybe try the claw side.

Or use a meat hammer, both sides usually smack meat like nothing else.

The Brits declared that their bases would be used for defensive actions only, in an embarrassing attempt to make any attack on them able to trigger Article 5.

I liked the UK and EU not getting involved for a whole day until they have to defend the surrounding nations that were obviously going to take fire. Why even act like you aren't about to get involved?

Either this some ridiculous lie to the public or they’re telling themselves some absolutely f’d up stuff in that White House echo chamber.
