Republicans Are Up To Something. Ian miles Cheong Thinks They Want War… Never ends for the Deep Staters…
In a recent move, a group of Republicans in the House and Senate, led by Sen. Rand Paul and Reps. Chip Roy and Warren Davidson, introduced a bill aimed at reaffirming that NATO’s Article 5 does not supersede Congress’s authority to declare war or authorize military force. The bill seeks to address the long-standing misconception that Article 5 obligates the United States to provide automatic military support to NATO allies in the event of an attack.
Sen. Rand Paul explained the purpose of the bill, stating that it aims to reassert that Article 5 does not negate Congress’s responsibility to make decisions regarding war and military engagements. While Article 5 establishes mutual defense commitments among NATO member states, it does not mandate immediate military intervention by the United States.

The language of Article 5 specifies that an armed attack against a NATO member shall be considered an attack against all, and that each member has the right to individual or collective self-defense, including the use of armed force. However, Sen. Paul highlighted that military action is not explicitly required by the article. He further pointed out that Article 11 of the NATO Treaty emphasizes the need to adhere to each country’s constitutional processes when carrying out the provisions of the treaty.
From a different perspective within the GOP, some neoconservatives expressed their response to the bill. The legislation introduced by Sen. Paul and his colleagues aims to clarify that Article 5 should not override the constitutional requirement for Congress to declare war or authorize the use of military force prior to engaging in hostilities.
Graham and Blumenthal noted their resolution holds that any use of a tactical nuclear weapon by Russia, Belarus or their proxies, or the destruction of a nuclear facility that disperses radioactive contaminants into NATO territory would be viewed as an attack on NATO itself, requiring an Article V response.

In the Senate, the bill was cosponsored by Sen. Mike Braun, Sen. Mike Lee, Sen. Cynthia Lummis, and Sen. Josh Hawley. Notably, Sen. Hawley, who voted against the inclusion of Sweden and Finland in NATO, explained that his vote was driven by his focus on building alliances in the Asia Pacific region, particularly due to concerns related to China. Sen. Paul, on the other hand, voted “present” on the admission of Sweden and Finland.

In the House of Representatives, the Article 5 legislation garnered cosponsorship from Reps. Dan Bishop, Rep. Troy Nehls, Rep. Harriet Hageman, Rep. Paul Gosar, Rep. Andy Biggs, Rep. Andrew Clyde, Rep. Matt Rosendale, and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Overall, this bill introduced by Republicans seeks to clarify the relationship between NATO’s Article 5 and Congress’s authority in declaring war or authorizing military force, aiming to dispel the misconception surrounding the United States’ obligations under the NATO Treaty.
