Russia has capacity for a limited attack against NATO territory at any time but a decision to act would depend on the Western allies’ posture, a top German military official warned.

“If you look at Russia’s current capabilities and combat power, Russia could kick off a small-scale attack against NATO territory as early as tomorrow,” Lieutenant General Alexander Sollfrank told Reuters in an interview.

“Small, quick, regionally limited, nothing big - Russia is too tied down in Ukraine for that.”

    A lot hinges on the exact definition of “limited“. I could launch a limited attack on NATO today.

      NATO, bunch of assholes, you didnt get your shit together on time and couldn’t assist Ukraine consistently for 3 freaking years. now you cry because Russia keeps violating your airspace. You deserve what you get.

      Here you have, a small limited verbal attack on NATO.
