#NATO is ready for a potential Russian false flag attack, says the alliance’s military chief, Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone.
– His remarks follow multiple warnings by leaders across  #Europe in recent days about a growing risk of Russian escalation.
– “We have 4,000 pages of plans for the eastern flank, and this goes from the minimal crisis or interference on our soil with Article 5 and on and on.”
– “A direct attack is not on the agenda. But a direct attack is an Article 5 request immediately, basically.”
– “For hybrid activities, there is not an automatic Article 5 request because, I mean, they usually stay under the threshold.”
– “The alliance is ready. The structure is ready. The soldiers, the system, the weapons are ready.”
– “In case of an attack, I can tell you that today they have much more to lose than to gain, that’s for sure, and that’s deterrence.”
