What happens if two NATO countries fight each other, and both invoke Article 5...is that like dividing by 0?  :P

Not sure but if any NATO country invokes Article 5, while the UK has invoked Article 50, the British will only send a tithe of their committed forces to said country. :P

I don't think anyone will fight for Greece.

but they're more than likely to fight against evil Turkey.

Turkey isn't in the EU. Greece is. Turkey taking Greece = win.

As Article 5 is a defensive article, the one being attacked gets to invoke it.

Good thing two countries at war never both claim to be defenders.

EU parliament has voted to freeze membership talks with Turkey.

Erdogan says Turkey does more to defend European values than the EU does (EU harbors terrorists!) and threatens to open the borders and let the refugees go their merry way.

Yeah. I am not convinced.

I think it's time to recognize that no Western nation is immune from going Nazi in reaction to the prospect of a lot of people not looking like them living near them.  Maybe it's time for some cold-hearted pragmatism before the rest of the Western world goes hard right.
