Sullivan: if Russia even accidentally attacks a NATO country, the US will use the full power of the Alliance
US national security adviser Jake Sullivan threatened Russia with a response from NATO if there was a quick strike on the territory of the country – a member of the alliance. Military attack on an earthquake to the application of Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, recalled Mr. Sullivan. According to the national security adviser, the answer will follow, even if the strike is accidental.
“We will use the full power of the NATO alliance in response,” Jake Sullivan told CBS News’ Face the Nation (quoted by AP). President Sullivan recalled that US President Joe Biden “made it clear on numerous occasions that the United States will work with all members of NATO territory, which means every inch.” The national security adviser would be random.
Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty provides for the establishment of a system of collective defense: the agreement the parties agree that an armed attack on one or more of the participating countries will be a dependency as an attack on all of them, and, if such an outcome, each country, in the exercise of the rights to individual or collective defense, will help victims of aggression, including with the use of armed force. The geographic area of the treaty – the North Atlantic region – includes the territory of a country party to the treaty.
On March 11, Mr. Biden said: According to him, 12,000 troops have already been sent to protect the Alliance in several European countries.
