WWIII WATCH ⚠️
BREAKING 🚨
Cyberattack could trigger
ARTICLE 5 NATO‼️

A large-scale state-sponsored attack on a NATO member could trigger the bloc’s Article 5 collective defense clause and result in a military response, the chair of NATO’s military committee, Admiral Rob Bauer, said on Saturday.

"In NATO, we have agreed amongst all allies that, in principle, a cyberattack can be the start of an Article 5 procedure. So it's not only a physical attack, but also a cyberattack can be the basis of an Article 5 debate and of course result in the follow-on procedures," Bauer stated.
