The only country that has invoked article 5 is the US.
Banging on about commitments is nothing more than trying to extort a bit more money from other countries. The US doesn't spend 2% on defence because it is diligently keeping to its NATO commitments, it spends on defence for its own National interest.
If Trump wanted to spend 1% GDP on defence he won't be asking anyone.
