Possible scenario
Russia Pressures Poland
20% Chance
Russia and Belarus respond with military signaling, cyber activity, or border pressure intended to challenge the new U.S.-Polish basing plan. This is a significant but less likely path because Moscow has incentives to intimidate NATO's eastern flank while avoiding direct conflict with U.S. forces.
