Analyst Warns NATO Unprepared for Russian Escalation Despite Article 5 Obligations

What was said

"NATO is in an extremely weak position. NATO today has become a 32-member grouping organization whose key thing is Article 5, but there are far too many weak links there. They hardly have done any exercises. All these new members which have come in, they basically are sitting ducks, especially the Baltic States."

Defense analyst Pravin Sawhney argues NATO is militarily unprepared for potential Russian aggression despite Article 5 collective defense commitments, citing lack of joint exercises among 32 members and calling newer Baltic members vulnerable. He notes NATO relies 70% on US military power already committed in West Asia, leaving the alliance exposed to Russian cyber and missile capabilities that Moscow has developed specifically for operational-level warfare.
