How to collapse NATO:
Step 1: Turkey incites Israel, with rhetoric, supplying Israel's enemies, maybe even launches against them.
Step 2: Israel attacks Turkey (the 2nd most powerful NATO country)
Step 3: NATO countries now have to defend Turkey due to article 5
Step 4: USA breaks with NATO and defends Israel (of course they would)
There is no mechanism to expel a NATO member.
Turkey is very pro-Palestine and has threatened to invade Israel and forcibly keep the peace.
Putin would love to weaken or collapse NATO, and this lever has to be on his mind.
