I am not trying to be an alarmist but quite frankly some of the potential consequences of a Russian involvment in the death of Poland's leadership are rather nightmarish.

Original 1949 NATO Charter Statement:
"The Parties of NATO agreed that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all. Consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence will assist the Party or Parties being attacked, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area."

By reading the above statement the assassination of a Nato member head-of-state fairly defines an attack upon Nato.

I pray the Kremlin was not involved, aware nor complacent in this tragedy at all. Please may the pilot have been an idiot and the plane a decrepit wreck.

Because either Nato falls apart or…….

We've come a long way since 1914 when it comes to such matters.

And so it goes...;)
