Actually, no. There's also NATO, but I guess 42.7 is stronger than article 5.

So when Denmark invokes article 5, nato members like the US will declare war on the US?

Article 5 does not, contrary to popular belief, require military response. Go read the wording. It basically requires members to do exactly what they would be already required to do: whatever they want.

Here is a link for those like me who have not read Article 5 before, with additional comments:

That sounds very silly. Obviously the US breaking its treaty obligations doesn't mean that everybody else will.
