I thought the deal was that if a NATO country is invaded, the others will defend it. If a NATO country invades someone else, there's no obligation to get involved.

Not saying the idiot in charge won't let his ego take over and side with Turkey.

It doesn’t have to be an invasion. Article 5 can be invoked over any kind of attack. We invoked in on 9/11 and that was not an invasion, but a terrorist attack, from a non-state actor.
