NATO's top military officer has expressed deep concern over a scenario where Russia attacks a NATO ally in coordination with a Chinese move against Taiwan. This simultaneous two-front conflict would force the United States to fight major wars in both Europe and the Indo-Pacific.

It underscores the alliance's focus on deterrence and readiness for complex, multi-theater crises.
