flag A NATO wargame showed a Russian hybrid attack on Lithuania could succeed due to alliance coordination failures and U.S. hesitation.

flag A high-level NATO wargame simulating a 2026 Russian incursion into Lithuania revealed that a swift, hybrid attack—using a false humanitarian pretext and pre-emptive drone-mining—could rapidly destabilize the alliance. flag Despite a 15,000-troop Russian advance, the U.S. declined to invoke Article 5, Germany hesitated to intervene, and Poland mobilized but did not cross the mined border, exposing critical coordination gaps. flag The simulation, involving former officials from NATO and Germany, highlighted how perceived Western hesitation and lack of clear U.S. leadership could enable a limited but decisive Russian victory, underscoring concerns over alliance readiness, decision-making speed, and strategic clarity in the face of fast-moving hybrid threats.
