FORTUNE FAVORS THE BRAVE AND THE BALTICS

The article argues that Russia is actively probing NATO defenses through frequent drone incursions in Eastern Europe. It highlights the growing concern among Baltic and Nordic nations regarding Russian aggression.
Why it matters
Increased Russian drone activity in NATO airspace poses a significant risk of escalation and tests the alliance's collective security commitments.
NATO doesn’t face the threat of an attack from Russia. It’s already being attacked. Stymied in Ukraine, where Russian troops have failed to seize fresh territory over the past year, President Vladimir Putin is upping the pressure on Europe by flying drones through NATO member states to probe the readiness of America and its allies to respond.
The framing emphasizes a hawkish perspective on Russian threats and the necessity of a strong, proactive NATO response.
