️🇷🇺🇪🇺 NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte says the alliance is deliberately keeping the threshold for triggering Article 5, its collective defense clause, vague to prevent Russia from knowing precisely what actions could trigger a collective NATO response.
Interviewer: "Shouldn't something be done? Shouldn't it be said that we are being attacked and that we have an article for that? ".
Rota: "Do you mean section 5? See, per Section 5, we'll never reveal exactly when it's activated. We would like to keep it a little vague, so that the Russians don't know whether we have reached this point or not."
