⚡️ Stoltenberg warns Russia against attacks on arms supply to Ukraine.

“If there is any attack against any NATO country, NATO territory, that will trigger Article 5,” NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said.
6:22 AM · Mar 9, 2022

This is a very strong warning against attacks on supply chains. In fact, it also gives NATO a strong tool to force Russian forces into specific areas in Ukraine without firing a shot.

1. Stoltenberg is a bad ass. NATO hasn't even brought in their big guns.

UK dropped a hint today as to what Russia will run headfirst into, should they defy these warnings.

Pentagon has to be overridden by CIC on the jets, now. NATO has to invoke Article 5 NOW...Like someone on that thread said, WW3 has already started.

7. FWIW I think all these examples are quite a bit different from Russia attacking a NATO convoy

5. I know I couldn't do it.

All of the choices! You do this, you get that. You get that and the world explodes. We're making the concessions because we care about the planet and love it while Putin doesn't give a damn about anything, so he continues to make demands. I don't know how many choices are left, but I really think the choices are very few now.

4. Stoltenberg

Sounds great, but upon closer examination, this does not reflect a change in NATO policy. It’s a rehashing of Article 5, that’s all.

8. Well NATO is sending supplies through Ukraine using their own trucks, etc, I believe

While it doesn't reflect a change in policy in any way, it is seemingly reinforcing the fact that these supply chains won't be affected by Russia's actions. And also likely limits Russia's ability to completely encircle Kyiv.

10. NATO

I understand, my point is that NATO will not tolerate interference with a convoy while it’s still on NATO territory, but once a convoy enters Ukraine, the Stoltenberg statement does not offer it any protection.

6. "Stoltenberg warns Russia against attacks on arms supply to Ukraine. " So does that mean
