Dutch intel: Russia could attack NATO post-Ukraine

Dutch intelligence has issued a stark assessment that Russia could generate sufficient combat power to start a regional conflict against NATO within a year of the Ukraine war's conclusion. The report, based on a new threat analysis, suggests the primary Russian goal would be to fracture the NATO alliance politically rather than achieve a full military defeat. The assessment does not rule out the use of nuclear threats as part of such a strategy. This warning highlights growing European security concerns about the long-term trajectory of Russian military ambitions beyond Ukraine.
