NATO commander Grynkewich warns Russia attack would be 'utterly futile'

  • On Monday in Warsaw, Supreme Allied Commander Europe Air Force General Alexus Grynkewich warned Russia that NATO would destroy "anything and everything" involved in any attack if Moscow was "foolish enough" to strike alliance territory.
  • NATO officials have warned in recent months that Russia could escalate "hybrid warfare" campaigns or attempt small-scale land-grabs against eastern European members, following accusations of sabotage and cyberattacks.
  • Outlining a "theory of victory" at the Warsaw Security Forum, Grynkewich said all 32 NATO members agreed to this strategy ensuring any attack against an ally proves "utterly futile" through coordinated defense.
  • Grynkewich clarified that defense involves striking far beyond the immediate conflict area, stating, "We will break the warfighting system engaged against us," including forces that support and control the attack.
  • NATO's 2022 Strategic Concept identifies Russia as the most significant security threat, though officials view limited military operations against alliance territory as the most realistic worst-case scenario rather than all-out invasion.
