The SCOTUS Chronicles

No. Article 5 requires an "armed attack" as the trigger. Our democracy is being dismantled internally, as @AFTT47 notes.

So they'd have to adopt the same method as 6th January?

I doubt that would be a trigger unless it could be proven to be the act of a foreign power.

From the same link above:

On the evening of 12 September 2001, less than 24 hours after the attacks, the Allies invoked the principle of Article 5. Then NATO Secretary General Lord Robertson subsequently informed the Secretary-General of the United Nations of the Alliance's decision.

The North Atlantic Council – NATO’s principal political decision-making body – agreed that if it determined that the attack was directed from abroad against the United States, it would be regarded as an action covered by Article 5. On 2 October, once the Council had been briefed on the results of investigations into the 9/11 attacks, it determined that they were regarded as an action covered by Article 5.

By invoking Article 5, NATO members showed their solidarity toward the United States and condemned, in the strongest possible way, the terrorist attacks against the United States.
