Comment on Would there be any merit in the idea of NATO waging a "benevolent war" (for lack of a better term) against Ukraine?

  even then calling it an organization is not really that accurate

  It is an organization, you can go work for the NATO directly. They are headquartered in Brussels.

  That said, military intervention on behalf of NATO works as you described, but there would be an obligation to help Canada in your example if the war would spread to its home soil. That said, the help obligation is literally worded “as they deem necessary”, so they could pretend that no large-scale intervention is necessary.

  This is the missing link in my idea. I suppose there to be a lot of reasons why Ukraine, if it wanted to enact this bottom of the barrel, shitpost-tier of international policy, couldn’t simply “stage” something that would force all of NATO to stand behind the invading country due to a technicality?
