Two things happened on the same morning this week.
The New York Times published the details of America’s planned drawdown in Europe.
And Sweden’s defense commission, with all eight parliamentary parties behind it, published its new security assessment.
The Swedish conclusion: Russia may test NATO’s cohesion and the credibility of Article 5 in the relatively near term, if the Kremlin judges the political conditions favorable.
Read those two stories together. One describes the political conditions. The other describes what happens when Moscow judges them favorable.
Sweden’s supreme commander said it plainly in May: the whole West is rearming, so why would Russia wait? I spent an entire section of this week’s essay on that exact question. The cornered bear does not wait for the door to close.

La Russia fa ammazzare i rifugiati nelle città europee, ingaggia persone per colpire le residenze di Starmer e dar fuoco ai centri commerciali. Attenti perché stiamo sottostimando la pericolosità di #Putin e le potenziali reazioni alla sconfitta in Ucraina e ai problemi economici interni
So heartbreaking: Elon Musk said “The reason they call me a N*zi is to encourage people to k*ll me”…
PROTECT ELON MUSK AT ALL COSTS 🙏
THE LEFT IS THE PARTY OF EVIL
🚨 NOW: President Trump emerges from the NEW Air Force One, just delivered to Joint Base Andrews
He's now giving an impromptu speech to a crowd of Air Force service members who made this happen in less than a YEAR.
Absolutely UNHEARD OF.
Boeing hasn't been able to complete THEIR Air Force One replacements in over a decade now.
🚨 NOW: President Trump reveals oil is SURGING through the Strait of Hormuz and prices will plummet, just as he predicted
"Those ships are flowing out of the Hormuz Strait...about 700 of them, and they're pouring out, the oil is all over the place. You're going to see oil drop so low!"
"I hope the companies are happy about it. But we have a lot of victories. We had a great victory in Venezuela, where we're now doing really well with the government. The big companies are all in there, the oil companies, they're building rigs, and we've paid for that war many, many times over."
