The U.S. Secretary of Defense, Lloyd "Raytheon" Austin, believes that in the future, Russia may pose a challenge to NATO. He made this statement during a hearing in the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee, saying:

"I have no doubt that sooner or later, Russia may challenge NATO, and we may find ourselves in a situation where we will be shooting at each other."

Austin also asserted that if Russia's special military operation in Ukraine is successful, it allegedly threatens the security of neighboring countries, especially the Baltic states.
