"Article 6 states that Article 5 covers only member states' territories in Europe, North America, Turkey, and islands in the Atlantic north of the Tropic of Cancer."
With an attempt to be credible, are there any lessons we can learn from the Iran Hostage Crisis? I get the feeling that the Nigerians won't be as ideologically motivated as the Iranians were, but I expect a similar response from NATO
I think the biggest thing learned during Iran hostage crisis is that a C130 with rockets pointing everywhere is 100% doable, and should totally be done this time around.
It's not really a hostage crisis when the 'hostage taker' just wants you to leave and you refuse to do so. That's actually the opposite of of a hostage crisis.

Technically the embassy is French soil. I wonder of everyone itching for an excuse to go in could invoke article 5 if the compound was attacked.

Even if it gets resolved right now, we should still land a C130 in a stadium, just because.
