NATO Article 5 and Jurisdictional Sovereignty --- If according to Article 5 of the NATO Treaty -"an attack on one nation is an attack on all" and therefore justifies a retaliatory response, isn't it reasonable to conclude that the NATO Alliance as a military entity becomes a sovereign space since all members have effectively relinquished their military sovereignty to the wider Alliance? If so, what prevents the Russia or China to conjecture the same philosophy among their allies/proxies? What would be the end result of acting on such a principle in cyberspace?
