Nato commander Grynkewich warns Russian attack would be ‘utterly futile’

Nato's top commander, General Alexus Grynkewich, has warned Russia that an attack on any of its members would be "utterly futile" and would result in massive retaliation that would go beyond the forces directly involved. Speaking at a security conference in Warsaw, Grynkewich outlined his "theory of victory" at a time of rising tension between European nations and Russia.

He emphasized that Nato, despite being a defensive alliance, would block, blunt, and break any attack against its members to ensure the assault proved ineffective. Grynkewich, while not naming Russia directly, was clearly addressing Moscow, stating that if someone were foolish enough to attack Nato, they would face significant consequences.

The US Air Force General reiterated that this would involve not just the attacking force, but also anything and everything that supports, sustains, and controls that force.
