Russia is on the offensive right now. Moscow is engaged in a cycle of rapid escalation against the nations of Europe, and particularly the easternmost member nations of the powerful NATO alliance. Russian drones have flown across Polish and Romanian airspace.
Russian fighter jets have breached the gap and traveled into Estonia. And mysterious cyber attacks and unexplained drone overflights have caused chaos in London, Berlin, Copenhagen, and beyond.
All the while, Russian leaders are spinning narratives, insisting that NATO is fabricating false allegations, and building the idea that Ukraine, not Russia, is on the verge of launching a false flag attack against NATO territory, for which the Kremlin will wrongfully be held responsible.
