      I assume you mean Article 5, and no, yes, maybe, but probably no.

      Article 5’s requirement is that the members convene to discuss a response to an attack, not an obligation to attack.

      Furthermore, this sounds more like an even dumber dumb Watergate, but with arguably, a moral justification i.e. covert burglary, maybe even armed robbery, for vaccines contracted to the UK.

    Wow, imagine how bad this would be if the Dutch had the ability to think less of the English.

    Edit: I imagine the plan involved British agents smelling like weed and standing in the bike lane yelling “woooo!” so as to go unnoticed.
