    I mean, it’s never happened. But the US declaring war on Danish territory would violate Article 5.

      Intra-alliance fighting has always been a concern because of Greece and Turkey. Article 5 is probably the only reason they haven’t already gone to war. But yeah the US would fight all of European NATO that answers the call, win a pyrrhic victory, and destabilize Europe for the next 100 years.

        US wouldn’t win, that would be the best time for China to overtake them on the global stage
