Extremely tired of war games with Baltic scenarios that don’t take into account the Baltic states’ national forces and defence plans. 15k Russians won’t be the end of NATO because Lithuanians can take care of them even without outside help.

カーネギー国際平和財団のガブエフ氏寄稿、Die Welt主催のロシアによるNATO諸国侵攻を想定したウォーゲームについて。 実施時期は昨年12月。シナリオでは2026年10月を想定、5月に一応の停戦合意はあったもののプーチンが欧州に報復するとしたら。 まずは15,000人のエリート部隊を大規模演習の名目でベラルーシと飛び地カリーニングラードに配置。 この二か所を繋ぐ64kmに及ぶリトアニア領土をカリーニングラードに支援物資を運ぶ「人道回廊」の名目で占領。 1/3 www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/o...
Yeah, but then there is this from a recent war game in your native Germany (maybe you even participated?): "Once the U.S. president stood down, NATO was effectively deactivated: Absent America’s buy-in, allies couldn’t use the organization’s collective defense plans or command-and-control system."
Chilling and entirely plausible www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/o...

Russia’s Vladimir Putin has the motive and the strength required to make a new invasion not just possible, but “plausible,” says @alexgabuev.bsky.social. Unless NATO countries can “get their act together,” they’re vulnerable. More in @nytimes.com: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/o...
Interesting scenario. More interesting yet if Mr Trump is controlled not just by appeals to his vanity but also perhaps evidence of darker things even; that could have been recorded in various steamy islands and ranches. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/o...

A scary but very plausible scenario: (gift article) www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/o...
A war game "Putin" won, why? "there is Mr. Trump....Watching the trans-Atlantic bond implode, Mr. Putin may believe he can combine appeals to Mr. Trump’s vanity with nuclear intimidation to persuade America not to defend Europe- just as we did in the game" www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/o...

A republican voters dream come true. After occupying a chunk of NATO territory in the Baltics, my team successfully converted the land grab into a diplomatic coup, winning major concessions from the U.S. that would refashion Europe’s security in Russia’s favor. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/o...
If Putin invaded any European country, Trump would not only not lift a finger to stop him, Trump would congratulate him
