The Council on Foreign Relations, a U.S. NGO and research center, has published a report naming a possible conflict between Russia and NATO as first in the category of threats for the coming year whose influence is evaluated as “high” and the probability of which was considered “moderate.”
The Top Threats to Watch in 2017 report mentions the “intentional and unintentional military confrontation” that could be brought about by Russia’s “aggressive behavior” in Eastern Europe. Russia Beyond The Headlines asked Russian experts to outline the aspect of such a conflict and what else could potentially bring Moscow and the alliance into confrontation.
