It’s not article V if they JOIN a war.

Also, Article V does not require us to join in militarily, it allows us to. We are to take any actions we see fit. That can include a strongly worded letter.

Hegseth went to the EU and specifically told them the US would not support article V and that they were on their own.

Yet NATO nations sent troops to Afghanistan in reponse to the 9/11 attack even though Afghanistan did not actually attack the US. But each nation sending troops invoked Art V.

Article V does not require us to join in militarily, it allows us to.

Exactly, as can be read here.

"The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognized by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area."
