U.S. Intel Finds Putin Could Test NATO’s Resolve With Limited Incursion: WSJ
Officials say the risk is low now but rises if Putin fails to gain an advantage in Ukraine, with cyberattacks and sabotage among the possible scenarios.
- New U.S. intelligence reports suggest that Russian President Vladimir Putin may soon attempt to challenge NATO's resolve by conducting a limited military or cyber strike against a member state.
- The assessment reflects a shift in intelligence perspectives, as officials now believe Putin may seek to fracture the alliance to distract from ongoing struggles and domestic pressure regarding the war in Ukraine.
- Potential scenarios for such provocations range from small-scale ground incursions to cyberattacks, intended to test the alliance's political cohesion.
- These concerns are exacerbated by significant U.S. military supply shortages, specifically regarding long-range precision-guided missiles and tactical air defense systems, which have been depleted by global conflicts.
- While the Kremlin's long-term objectives remain centered on undermining confidence in NATO, the potential for a direct, limited confrontation is now considered a near-term possibility as the war in Ukraine continues.
