French President Calls Attacks an 'Act of War'
The French president calls attacks in Paris an 'Act of War'.
That is what it is. Nato needs to mobilize immediately and neutralize this threat with all due hostility. We aren't at terrorism, we are at war. The ENEMY has made it clear.
Nato should convene, tell the member states we need a quarter million troops and all will participate and land troops in Iraq and Syria FOR STARTERS. And it should make clear to the rest of the world get the fuck out of the way.
The real world is harsh and sometimes deadly force is required and right now is one of those times. And be clear, Nato will have forces in that region for decades to come.
The Nato charter states 'any attack on one member nation is an attack on all'. The time for half measures and yammering is now over, for good. Brutal force is now required, not by our choice but by what has been forced on us.
France isn't a member of NATO.
Yeah France is a member of NATO
My error:

France withdrew from the integrated military command in 1966 to pursue an independent defense system but returned to full participation on 3 April 2009.
Well after the Fall of the Soviet Union.
A true Ally if there ever was one.
