POLICY WIRE — Warsaw, Poland — NATO’s highest-ranking military official has issued a stark warning to Russia, stating that any attempt to attack the alliance’s territory would be met with an overwhelming response. General Alexus Grynkewich, the Supreme Allied Commander Europe, emphasized that NATO forces would destroy anything and everything involved in such an assault if Moscow were to act recklessly.
