The year is 2029, Russian forces are marching into Brussels, European leaders, infuriated, decide to finally write a sternly worded condemnation of Russian aggression, meanwhile new US president JD Vance supplies Russia with the latest F-47 fighters.

They are trying to provoke a military response from NATO and use it as justification to invade the Baltic.
The first time that Article 4 was invoked twice in one month.

Desperate play by a country that is sustained on war.

So they are testing our defenses.
And to the people who say “we are not at war with Russia” maybe we are not but they are at war with us.

Ah the classic lets get a meeting instead of actually responding when the incident was happening.
Now all the weak leaders can just say see we are doing something! which will just result into another Russian escalation and another redrawn redline.

Why a second time, wasnt the first convocation enough? Do they need to express even more concern?

At this point Article 4 is becoming a joke, like the EU’s “strong condemnation” letters.
We need to shoot down the next thing (drone, plane, anything) Russia sends across the border, manned or unmanned. Adopt a “fuck around and find out” policy.
Of course to do that, European governments need to feel confident that the voters have their backs in an escalation against Russia, and will not scream about inflation and the increased cost of groceries and energy when the escalation triggers exactly that.

A lot of comments about Russia wanting to invade the Baltics, wanting to provoke a NATO attack to save face, etc.
Here’s an interesting one to throw into the mix: What if Russia wants to provoke a NATO response to claim that they’re under attack and expand their use of conscription as a “defensive” measure? Lets them throw more bodies at Ukraine or elsewhere while spinning the domestic narrative into a war of defense.

The Russians only understand force. [This is the way](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-34907983?app-referrer=deep-link). It’s probably the only time I’ll ever advocate following Turkey’s example.
