Exercițiu de război: Rusia atacă Republica Moldova, iar o dronă lovește un depozit de combustibil din România. Cum vor reacționa SUA?

A simulation exercise in the U.S. analyzed a scenario where Russia attacks Moldova in 2028, leading to civilian casualties in Romania. Participants, including Congress members, discussed the U.S. response, which was deemed timid due to public opinion concerns. Ignatius warns that this could undermine NATO's collective defense credibility. He highlights the increasing risk of broader conflict in Europe, citing numerous hybrid attacks attributed to Russia. The absence of strong U.S. leadership may embolden the Kremlin and lead European nations to act independently. Ignatius calls for a clear warning to Moscow and a reinforcement of military presence in Europe to deter aggression.
