German media outlets Süddeutsche Zeitung, WDR, and NDR also cite the report, noting that Russian President Vladimir Putin appears intent on testing NATO’s Article 5 guarantees. The alliance’s mutual defence clause obliges member states to come to one another’s aid if attacked. The assessment suggests Putin may seek to challenge how seriously that commitment would be honoured.

    Hey, some years ago we said the same about Russia invading Ukraine. Maybe Russia’s actions aren’t directed by logic.

      Maybe Russia’s actions aren’t directed by logic.

      They are, just not the kind of logic that considers human lives valuable.
