WSJ: Russia Could Test NATO With a Limited Strike Next Month

The Wall Street Journal reports U.S. intelligence assessments warning that Vladimir Putin may try to test NATO’s resolve with a limited strike on a member state as early as next month or within the coming fall period. Washington previously judged such an attack unlikely while Russia remained focused on its war in Ukraine, but that assessment has shifted. Scenarios discussed include hybrid actions, cyberattacks, or small-scale incursions designed to probe Article 5 commitment and split allied unity.
