The use of nuclear weapons is becoming increasingly likely as the Russian and Ukrainian militaries continue to blindly scramble up the escalation ladder through deep strikes into Russia, with alleged involvement from a NATO member country, military analysts warned on Monday. Russian Ambassador to the UN Vassily Nebenzia has accused Latvia of planning to launch drones from its territory in direct attacks against the Russian Federation. Russia could attack Latvia if these plans became a reality, which could trigger a chain of events leading to the use of nuclear weapons, analysts said during a meeting at the Quincy Institute broadcast by CSPAN on Monday. “There are proponents of, I guess we can call it ‘escalate to de-escalate,’…Open

A week after threatening to quit NATO over European states’ reluctance to help out, especially in clearing the Strait of Hormuz, and just two days after striking a shaky ceasefire deal, the president was at it again Thursday, berating the strategically obsequious Mark Rutte, NATO’s secretary general, for the…Open
President Trump can't abandon NATO on his own, but he can still turn the relationship toxic as he rails at American allies who sat out his Iran war. The big picture: America has been the backbone of the transatlantic alliance since 1949, but experts warn Trump's rhetoric and behavior threaten to undermine NATO's mutual trust even if the U.S. remains a member. - "It's already pretty well understood and feared amongst a number of Europeans that even if the U.S. stays in NATO, it's unreliable," Mark Webber, an international politics professor at the University of Birmingham, tells Axios. The latest: On Thursday, Trump wrote that "None of these people, including our own, very disappointing, NATO, understood anything unless they have…
