Has he or anyone in his administration bothered to read the treaty?

No, I haven't read the whole thing, but I have read that member nations promise to aid other member nations IF THEY ARE ATTACKED from outside..

NATO has exactly ZERO obligation to aid us in a war we have started. And I'm pretty sure the same would be true if we citizens were to begin an armed revolution. (which I certainly would not recommend. Just saying.)
