Yes, because Ukraine is not a NATO member. If it was, then as per treaty, the alliance would respond.

How is that not clear?



There's no guarantee that anyone does anything. The proof is in actions, not words. Treaty or no.

If it comes to preventing the end of the world or protecting Ukraine, NATO has already shown it would rather prevent the end of the world.

That's because NATO hadn't committed to protecting Ukraine.

If it had, Putler wouldn't have dared attack.

Again: How is that not clear?


Commitments and treaties can and have been broken throughout history.

The motivation to save the world from utter destruction gives greater reason than ever before to not start WW3... at least not over Ukraine.. treaty or no.
