NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte says Article 5 is “deliberately ambiguous,” arguing that the Alliance will never specify exactly what would trigger the collective defense provision because it does not want to provide adversaries with that information. On hybrid threats, Rutte said NATO has all the response options it needs, including measures that will remain non-public. He added that responses will not always be tit-for-tat and may be symmetric or asymmetric.
