Russian attack on NATO impossible? "If we were to believe everything Trump has said, the war would already be over"

CNN Portugal28 August 2026 at 16:03

Commentator Miguel Baumgartner, from CNN Portugal, analyses the possibility of a Russian attack on NATO, questioning the conflict scenarios that have been presented.

The article states that Donald Trump has made several statements about the war, generating uncertainty about his actual position regarding the conflict.

The analysis suggests that Trump's statements should not be interpreted literally, given the former American president's history of contradictory declarations.

The commentator emphasizes the need to carefully assess military escalation scenarios, considering the unpredictable nature of the political statements involved.
