      Yes but Europe was under no obligation to support the US in the Iraq war since it had nothing to do with NATO.

          Uh…

          This seems like an attempt to undermine NATO. The only time article 5 has been used was after 9/11.

          By saying Europe had a choice and should have resisted, he lays the foundation for the US to not follow through on their NATO commitments.

          I’m saying that Iraq had absolutely nothing to do with Europe’s NATO commitments.
