I do not believe the treaty requires NATO members to aid a member if they are the attacking member, it is defensive in nature.

Ramitt was saying that NATO wouldn't protect the aggressor if the aggressor is a member. Turkey is a member. Therefore NATO would not assist Turkey if they were to attack Sweden.

That’s not what he said. If they are the attacking member = if the NATO member is the one doing the attacking.

NATO would intervene in some way if Turkey decides to march its army through several other NATO members to attack Sweden.
