A source from inside the NATO summit reported that Trump has correctly stated that Article 5 is voluntary, not a binding commitment. He has said that the US will sell and supply weapons, intelligence, and support to NATO and NATO members if a NATO member is attacked by other countries that are not NATO members. That would not include Turkey vs Greece – two NATO members. However, the US itself will not get involved in the actual fighting with boots on the ground. This is what I have been told by some key people close to Trump, so this is from two directions.
As far as Europe’s desire for war against Russia, Trump stated that the US will not get involved on the ground, and they will not stay engaged in prolonged peacemaking indefinitely. He did not rule out supporting the UK’s coalition to lead Europe into war. However, they seem to think that they have two years to prepare and expect World War III by 2027. They realize that this is now a drone war, and they need 2 years to prepare. Everyone is ready for conscription, including Canada, and that includes Turkey, which has the largest standing army in NATO after the US. I had that same idea from the Vienna Peace Conference. What clearly surfaced was that all members have adopted a war footing. There were no pacifists.
Asd far as Israel vs Iran, the consensus seems to be following the Neocon view that the Iranian regime will implode. As always, there is no consideration for what that would look like, and they also appear to fail to comprehend that this is a religious war. The assassination of the Supreme Leader would turn him into a Martyr, and would have untold consequences.
