    "...'NATO announced that if a NATO member country becomes the victim of a cyber attack by persons in a non-NATO country such as Russia or China, then NATO’s Article V “collective defense” provision requires each NATO member country to join that NATO member country if it decides to strike back against the attacking country...

    ...NATO [is] declaring cyber war itself to be included as real “war” under the NATO Treaty’s “collective defense” provision...' "
