Russia pulls out of grain deal > Russia causes global food price increase > Russia causes poorer families in US/EU to go hungry > Russia is engaging a war of aggression on NATO > ARTICLE 5

Not that simple: Here's article 5:

“The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognized by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.

Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall immediately be reported to the Security Council. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security.”

Article 5 is invoked If it constitutes an armed attack. In this case, food insecurity is not an armed attack.

Putin used his hands, therefore arms, to sign the decision which means it's an armed attack. ARTICLE 5

I have arms and I feel attacked. ARTICLE 5

That's your fault for not having bear arms as the second amendment wanted you to.

Are you sure you want WWIII? Because that’s basically what you are preaching.

Listening to the stories of my grandparents, another World War is not something I want

There is no way WW3 doesn't lead to nuclear destruction of our planet

[-] sorenant@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

How about a global special military operation then?

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

If only the powers that could have opposed the belligerent nation in WWII had tried negotiation and peace before rushing in to battle!

If you apply the same logic to US sanctions on north korea, Cuba, Venezuela etc etc they all have casus belli to nuke america. It's a silly justification.

[-] sorenant@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That's just internal conflict because every country belongs to America.

Easy there Poland.

He's trying to cause an immigration crisis; people in Africa can't afford food so they will try to immigrate to Europe, either legally or not, and strain the resources and increase cultural divides. It was the whole reason Putin started fucking with the grain supply as soon as he could. He was hoping the immigration crisis and energy crisis would overlap and make each other worse, but The Netherlands recently dissolved their government over the immigration crisis, so now is good too.
