From the transcript
What would happen if Russia would invade Europe? That was the question that German newspaper Diveldt and researcher at Helmut Schmidt University sought to answer into several last year when they organized a war game to simulate a Russian invasion of NATO, and the results were devastating.
The exercise was said in October 2026 in a world where a ceasefire in Ukraine has frozen the front lines while leaving Russia in control of occupied territory.
The planners envisioned a scenario where the Kremlin would falsely claim that Lithuania was preventing Moscow from properly supplying Kaliningrad, an exclave of Russia between Lithuania and Poland, to seize the Lithuanian city of Marjampol. From there, using a combination of drones, ground troops and mines, Russia would steamroll through the Baltics.
