Invoking the #NATO treaties collective defense clause, known as #Article5, under which an attack on one member is regarded as an attack on all, requires the #unanimity of all 32 #allies. The #US, of course, would reject any plea for help by #Denmark — effectively neutering the #treaty.
“Article 5 did not anticipate that the invading country would be a member of NATO,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) told reporters asking about bill in #Congress to prohibit #Trump for acting in #Greenland.
It is right to move forward even without #Hungary. However, I also find the approach of the 26 somewhat questionable. Why not simply withdraw Hungary's voting rights under Article 7 and then proceed with legally valid decisions?

#EU's patience with #Orban is nearing its end.
Excellent news - if true.
I'd prefer to finally bury the #unanimity principle to using article 7, though. This evolutionary step is long overdue.

quotes #IgnazioSilone #BreadAndWine #DonPaolo on #LandOfPropaganda and #Unanimity
Repeatedly we see the same pattern: one country putting its interests before those of the whole Union.
For the sake of the European Project, this needs to change. We have to put an end to #unanimity.
We need #EUreform and #EU #treatychange because:
1 country wanted to block the extension of temporary protection for #Ukrainian refugees in the #EuropeanUnion
No, not the country you're thinking of. RMF radio confirmed again today that the Polish government was against, but couldn't block the EU decision as this wasn't a #unanimity vote.
If Viktor #Orban is Exhibit A for why we need to drop unanimity, his BFFs #PiS are Exhibit B.
Polska nie chce, by na czwartkowym spotkaniu unijnych ministrów spraw wewnętrznych zapadła decyzja o przedłużeniu tymczasowej ochrony dla uchodźców z Ukrainy do marca 2025 roku – ujawnił w rozmowie z brukselską korespondentką RMF FM Katarzyną Szymańską-Borginon jeden z unijnych dyplomatów. Według naszych ustaleń, władze w Warszawie nie mówią kategorycznego "nie" samemu pomysłowi przedłużenia ochrony. Chciałyby jednak odsunąć w czasie rozstrzygnięcia w tej sprawie i poprzedzić je konsultacjami na szczeblu szefów państw i rządów Unii.
