Thats as per my understanding. Sounds like Russian tanks could reach the German borders while a committee was still in session to evaluate the situation.
So while yes Germany may make great defense equipment, chances of them using any if Article 5 is invoked are essentially nil.
As for me I’m only discussing situational reality, not advocating action by any means. Diplomacy is important and NATO has a role to play there but by its very nature it isnt only a talking shop, “speak softly & carry a big stick” can be relevant here.
