Carlo, the Russians are coming

What if, the Russians come and everyone west of their border suddenly must respond? Carlo Masala's provocative scenario is a frightening thought exercise. 

This is the scenario for March 2028: Russian troops capture the small Estonian town of Narva and the island of Hiiumaa in the Baltic Sea. The attack to retake the Baltic region under Russian control has begun. This could be a plausible scenario for Putin taken revenge on Europe for supporting Ukraine. But what if European countries have still not fully re-armed after providing so many weapons systems to Ukraine? What important capabilities would be missing? Would NATO invoke Article 5? Will the USA defend Europe? How will the Alliance respond? Will NATO risk all-out nuclear war?

We have gotten used to the fact that in the end everything turns out well. But what if not? What if Russia succeeds? It is only a hypothetical future scenario, outlined by renowned political scientist and military expert Carlo Masala in his new book - but it shows very clearly what is at stake today.
