Excerpt from article at The Guardian by John Sutherland:

"The Guardian is furious about it. The Dutch Guardian
(De Volkskrant) that is. About what? The American
Service-members' Protection Act, otherwise known
as "The Hague Invasion Act". You can read the
legalled-up version, as passed a fortnight ago, at
www.nrc.nl/Doc/ASPA.pdf. The long and short of it
is that America will use military force against the
Netherlands to free any of its nationals held by the
international criminal court (ICC) at the Hague."

So if it's invaded, other NATO members are treaty bound to defend it, right?

The US is part of NATO, right? So doesn't this mean that it American troops invade the Netherlands, other American troops will have to fight them? And what about the other NATO countries? Aren't they, too, treaty bound to defend the Netherlands?

This could be more complicated than August 1914.
