What happens if a NATO country Attack another NATO country?

No joke, I can see UK and France offering nuclear retaliation response promise to Canada, outside of NATO. I think trump really is dumb enough to start real war with for example Canada. NATO is dead, rest of the west needs to make similar protection agreements without USA, besides NATO , for when shit really hits the fan (I think it will, it's a matter of when, not if).

Well, article 5 doesn't apply then. Other agreements may still apply.

Of course it applies! Where are you getting that it doesn't from?

From article 5 from the NATO treaty actually. It states that it applies to attacks from external actors, i.e. non-members.

Edit: the article or nato treaty doesn't state it that explicitly actually. But a quick google show that it's at least the consensus interpretation
