Russian President Vladimir Putin may test the NATO alliance’s strength with an attack on an allied country as early as fall — including a possible land invasion, according to new US intelligence reports. Putin’s goal of an attack on a NATO nation is to force the US’s hand and fracture the 77-year-old alliance. Russia has already been shown it’s willing to push NATO, with Russian missiles landing in Poland and drones flying over Romania. 3 A house is destroyed by debris from a shot down Russian drone in Wyryki-Wola, Poland, on September 10, 2025. Stockpiles at risk include long-range Precision Strike Missiles and Army Tactical Missile Systems, as well as short-range Stinger surface-to-air missiles, officials told the Wall Street Journal.
