   My opinion of Art. 7 of "Agreement on measures..." is much less relevant than NATO's written response.

   Hume's paradox: 100,000 or 200,000 Russian military are no threat to Ukraine or Poland if they refuse to obey their hierarchy. In Hume's terminology, Putin's power is founded on the opinions and the "implicit submission" of 140M Russians, including the military. Without these, he has no power.

   Putin certainly knows Hume's paradox and is frightened by it.

     Not sure what point you’re making here quoting Hume.
