NATO members are growing increasingly worried about Russia’s potential to attack alliance countries, especially the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.
Bruno Kahl, the head of Germany’s foreign intelligence service, recently warned that Russia’s goals go beyond Ukraine and that the Baltic nations could be next. Kahl suggested that Russia might not need to launch a full-scale invasion but could instead use tactics like those seen during the 2014 takeover of Crimea, where soldiers in civilian clothing were sent in to create instability.
