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.

    The thing you aren’t grasping is when they do attack a Nato country the rules are off the table they are going to be using tactical nukes definetely or possibly worse

    In my opinion it’s suicide to wait for a nuclear country to make the first move especially when there’s a defense pact of 30+ smaller countries. They are going to use nukes the best we can hope for is their tactical ones on the battlefield.
