Not even article 5 of the NATO treaty uses formulations so clearly formulated that it would not leave backdoors open for opting out of the loyalty to the alliance if a member gets attacked. Weasel-language.

True that, there are safeguards already in place and have been for years now
Article 5 provides that if a NATO Ally is the victim of an armed attack, each and every other member of the Alliance will consider this act of violence as an armed attack against all members and will take the actions
it deems necessary to assist the Ally attacked.
