NATO top general warns alliance ready for Russian false flag attack

NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe, Adm. Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, stated the alliance is prepared for a potential Russian false flag attack, following a series of warnings from European leaders about heightened escalation risk. The remarks signal a shift in NATO's public posture from deterrence to active readiness, though no specific threat has been corroborated. This matters as it reflects growing Western assessment of Russian intent to provoke a direct confrontation.
