A recent war game conducted in Germany highlighted concerns about NATO's response to potential Russian aggression, suggesting that Russia could undermine NATO's credibility within a matter of days. The simulation, which took place at the Bundeswehr University in Hamburg, showed that Russia could capture the Suwalki corridor in Lithuania within 24 hours, raising alarms about NATO's ability to activate Article 5 in defense of its member states. This scenario creates a sense of urgency regarding NATO's preparedness and the possible repercussions of a rapid escalation in conflict.
