President Donald Trump has warned the U.K. and France that the “U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore,” as he vented his frustration over the close allies’ refusal to join military action against Iran.

So? I stated it was used only once, when the US was attacked. As this is one of the articles of NATO.
How?
That’s what NATO article 5 means. How is that so hard for you to comprehend?
The US was attacked, it’s NATO allies came to aid as required by being a member of NATO.
You claim the US didn’t ask for it, but they did when they created NATO after WW2 with the other nations, as it is one of the prerequisites for being a member of NATO. How are you unable to understand the meaning of what article 5 means?
Let me explain it in simple terms.
You have a friend. You agree with your friend that when one of you gets into a fight, the other one automatically joins in to help you. So you’re in a bar, get into a fight with this asshole who punches you in the face, so your friend who you made this deal with jumps in and starts bashing this asshole’s face.
That’s NATO article 5.
Are you going to complain you didn’t ask your friend first to join into the fight, even though you already made a pact with him?
The US asked for it by being a member of NATO. If they don’t want help from it’s pact allies they shouldn’t have created or agreed to article 5.
On another note:
But boy, did they beg for help with Afghanistan and Iraq. And they begged everyone not to leave as they were fucking everything up big time. And now they’re begging for help with another war, which they started just like Iraq. And fucking it also up big time.
