    Because if Russia retaliates it means all of NATO goes to war with Russia. Kind of a big deal that you maybe don’t want to just decide on your own.

      So, no NATO state can act on its own? Oo

      I don’t think that’s the case.

      Also, shooting down missiles isn’t an act of aggression. So I’m not sure if that really would escalate that much
