US Intelligence Warns Russia Could Test NATO With Attack As Early As This Fall

US intelligence warns that Russian President Vladimir Putin may test NATO resolve by attacking a member state as early as this fall, with a timeframe extending to 2029. Potential targets include Poland or the Baltics. Such aggression aims to fragment the alliance and strain collective defense commitments, which could significantly impact geopolitical stability and global markets.
