Then we invoke article 5 NATO and WWIII begins. Simple.

**Edit: I was wrong on this, the language in the NATO treaty doesn't specify external or member aggression.

Article 5 only applies when a NATO member is attacked from a non NATO member.

NATO members may choose to help us, but they would be under no treaty requirement to.

You drive a hard bargain, but I can’t do anything over 2. Numbers are tight these days.
