      It seems the 2 powers have contempt for Russia, since they are the only other power they are willing to fight against while they stay neutral to others.
  • Should one of the High Contracting Parties be attacked by another Power, the other High Contracting Party binds itself hereby, not only not to support the aggressor against its high Ally, but to observe at least a benevolent neutral attitude towards its fellow Contracting Party.
