Possible scenario
Managed Gray-Zone Escalation
45% Chance
Russia continues pressure below the threshold of open conflict, using cyberattacks, drone probes, sabotage accusations, and disinformation against Germany and NATO’s eastern flank. This is the most likely path because it matches the recent pattern of Russian gray-zone activity while avoiding a direct NATO-Russia clash.
