        While NATO’s Article 5 states that an attack on one member is an attack on all, it does not mandate a specific response, but rather each member decides what actions it deems necessary to assist the attacked member.

        Besides, Panama is not a NATO member.

        That clause is null and void between member states to prevent a WW1 situation.

        Also, Panama isn’t a member and would be defending, not invading.
